Sunny Daycare
Ms. Najma has become an extended member of our family over the last two years. We had never used a home daycare but discovered Sunny Daycare when looking for a new carer in July 2020, and were so happy that we did. We appreciated her loving attention to the children, how she played with them andtaught them life skills like cooking and gardening, and how she even did some pre-academic work with them, as well. There’s a good schedule of free play, learning time, fine motor work, and treats. She also worked hard on helping my two children learn skills like using the toilet and putting on their own shoes. We’re so grateful for Najma, and the safe, nurturing and fun environment she provides!…

Little People’s Montessori School
If you’re looking for an intense preschool/daycare like Goddard, Little People won’t be for you. You won’t be sent daily detailed updates of your child’s day. You won’t have the option of adding music or language lessons to their day. You won’t have access to cams to watch them in the classroom.
What you will get from LPM is a warmth and authenticity that stems from owner Ms. Gina’s love of her students and staff.
LPM is a family. The staff has almost little to no turnover; they have been there for years, even decades. My daughter’s teacher Ms. Luni’s own grown son attended LPM 20 years ago. Ms. Joyce, Ms. Bebe… .they’ve been apart of the school for years and years. The staff is professional, experienced and extremely devoted to LPM.
If your kid stays for the full day (there are half, full and part-time options), they will enjoy a nutritious, delicious home-cooked lunch made by Ms. Gina in the school’s kitchen.
LPM is a place your child will grow emotionally and intellectually. The school adheres to the Montessori model of teaching, so 3, 4 and 5-year-olds are mixed together. The little ones interact with and learn from the older kids and the older kids teach and model behavior to the little ones. Teachers have the classrooms humming like a hive: every child knows how to contribute and grow from each other.
Academics are age-appropriate, clear and fun. Students do a different dive into a new theme each week and circle back to content when appropriate. The independent work students focus on is impressive, the collaborative activities even more so.
Students have time to play as well. Doors open at 7a.m. and students can play with each other before the official 8:30 start of instruction. There’s a secure playground attached to the back of the school for outdoor fun (they get them outside whenever the weather allows). General holidays are celebrated appropriately and with joy.
LPM is also a place where your child will be safe and communication is prized. Ms. Gina and the teachers are quick to respond to emails or phone calls. The entrance is always locked and secure. Teachers post a handful of photos (to parents only) of the day’s activities and send parent email updates when something big is happening academically or socially.
Today was my daughter’s last day after 2 years and we will all dearly miss this warm, wonderful place. This is kind of neighborhood place children adore….

Ms. Bethany’s School of Cooking
My daughter took a cooking class Miss Bethany offered for children. Anyone with young children knows how hard it can be to keep them engaged and still having fun! Miss Bethany did a wonderful job communicating with the groups of 6/7 year olds. She broke down the steps of the recipe into manageableparts and gave lots of encouragement along the way. And bonus at the end you get a delicious treat! Miss Bethany is creative, patient, and excellent with children! My daughter is really looking forward to taking another one of her classes in the future….

Description:
Our Reggio Emilia inspired Infant through high school classrooms welcome your tiny to grown voyagers from their first out-of-home journey to their off-to-college ventures.
We provide an environment designed togive your infant and toddler the freedom to safely explore their world. Our caring experienced teachers create a rich learning and social experiences and promote brain development through engaging play. Children are exposed to music, art, and nature and are prepared for future learning.
In our kindergarten through high school classes we believe the study of facts and figures, while important, does not prepare students to think on their own or to learn how to learn. To prepare students for success, Voyagers emphasizes project-based learning, which allows students to delve deeply into course material and merge it with their own interests.
Working on projects helps students acquire additional insights, connecting new knowledge to what they already know. When peers work together, individuals give and receive knowledge and skills, while developing a positive work ethic. Peer participation helps children realize their ability to find solutions. This experience galvanizes their will to participate. They analyze and evaluate and become confident and experienced learners, ready for college and whatever the world has to offer.
Our students stand out in a crowd and move toward their academic endeavors with confidence and self-assurance. They quickly develop a sense of pride and honor that distinguishes them as leaders and responsible citizens.
We offer:
A flexible and responsive environment designed to give children the chance to move freely and explore the world.
For our littlest students, soft mats and structures for crawling and gross motor development; Sand/water tables for early sensory development; Instruments, art supplies, and manipulatives for rich language development.
For our parents, partnerships with teachers and ongoing, online documentation that reflects their child s growth and development.
The Voyagers’ Infant to Preschool program is open Monday – Friday from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm with before and after care programs. Families are welcome to use these hours in the way that best meets their schedule.

Pedilanthus – care at home. Pedilanthus cultivation, transplantation and reproduction.
Description, species, photo
Pedilanthus (Pedilanthus) is a plant belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family. Abundant formation of branches and shoots characteristic of this shrub. Pedilanthus grows in South and Central America, and is also found in its northern part.
The plant got its name from a combination of two Greek words meaning “shoe” and “flower”. Pedilanthus is a flowering shrub. Its flower has a very unusual shape. It is thanks to the memorable flowering that pedilanthus has become a popular houseplant.
Lighting should be bright. The plant prefers daylight, but without direct sunlight. In summer, pedilanthus will do well outdoors – on a balcony, loggia or in the garden. An important condition is that it must be protected from the scorching summer sun and from precipitation.
Pedilanthus also requires a lot of light in winter, so in short daylight hours it is necessary to resort to the use of additional lighting.
Temperature
The optimum temperature for normal plant growth and development in spring and summer is approximately +25 degrees. Fresh air is also important for pedilanthus. During dormant periods in autumn and winter, the comfortable temperature for the plant is about 14-18 degrees. It is important to protect pedilanthus from heating devices (batteries, heaters), otherwise too hot air and high temperatures will cause the plant to shed all the leaves.
Air humidity
An important positive feature of this houseplant is its unpretentiousness to air humidity. Pedilanthus feels great in a room with dry air.
Watering
But watering the pedilanthus should be given more attention. In summer, the soil in the pot should be regularly moistened, but not too damp, so that the plant’s root system does not begin to rot. In winter, the soil should also be moderately moist and not overdried, otherwise the plant will begin to shed foliage.
Soil
When growing a purchased plant, special attention is paid to the composition of the substrate. Pedilanthus needs loose, light, water- and breathable soil. The ratio of two parts of the leaf mixture will be ideal. One part sod and two parts sand.
Top dressing and fertilizers
When feeding pedilanthus, it is important to observe the following rules:
Fertilizer is applied from spring to autumn inclusive.
The frequency of top dressing is once a month.
Suitable fertilizer for succulents with a low nitrogen content.
An excess of nitrogen leads to rotting of the root system of the plant.
With the end of autumn, top dressing is stopped until spring.
Transplanting
The plant needs to be repotted as soon as the pot is full of roots. This happens infrequently, since the roots of the pedilanthus grow rather slowly and are compact. The transplant pot should have a diameter approximately equal to its height. A generous layer of expanded clay or other drainage material must be poured at the bottom of the pot. Its absence will lead to rotting of the root system and the death of the plant, which is very sensitive to standing water in a pot.
Propagation of pedilanthus
There are two methods of propagation of pedilanthus: with the help of seeds and cuttings (tops). Cuttings take root best in spring or early summer. To do this, cut off the top of one of the shoots about 8-10 cm long. Juice will begin to stand out abundantly at the cut site. To stop it, the cuttings are placed in warm water.
Then they need to be dried for 1-2 days, and only after that it will be possible to plant them in a pot with a substrate. The rooting mixture is sand or perlite. The optimum temperature for rooting is from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. In order for the plant not to rot, the lower leaves must be removed. The container with pedilanthus should not be covered. The first roots can be observed after 2-3 weeks.
It is important to remember that the juice secreted by pedilanthus is poisonous! Therefore, with any manipulation of the plant, it is important to observe safety precautions and work strictly with gloves.
Difficulties in care
Due to improper care, pedilanthus leaves may turn yellow and crumble – in this case, it is worth adjusting the watering.
If the plant is too long, this indicates insufficient lighting.
It is worth protecting pedilanthus from cold drafts, especially in the winter season – the plant will not die, but it can shed all the leaves.
Diseases and pests
Like any plant, pedilanthus is exposed to the negative effects of various diseases and pests. Fungal infection of the plant leads to the fact that the stems begin to rot. The only method of struggle here is the removal of the affected parts.
Aphids often attack the leaves of the plant. They curl up and stop growing. This pest can be dealt with with a jet of warm water and an insecticide treatment.
If white insects are found on a plant, and its leaves begin to turn yellow, stick when touched, then we are dealing with such a pest as the whitefly. If a warm shower does not help, then you can resort to using an insecticide.
Popular species of pedilanthus
The pedilanthus genus has a huge number of species. This is easily explained by the fact that the plant can take root in a variety of climatic conditions. Adjusting to a particular temperature regime, light level, pedilanthus changes its appearance.
Pedilanthus tithymaloidis is typical for the tropical forests of South America. It is characterized by compact size and densely covered with leaves. If the tropical forests become a little more arid, then they can be found in the spurred pedilanthus, but not in the form of a shrub, but a small tree. Large-fruited pedilanthus grows in the driest and hottest regions of America. In appearance, it is more and more like a succulent, almost leafless, but with a well-developed system of water-storing tissues. In the humid tropics, Fink’s pedilanthus can be found.
Large-fruited pedilanthus occupies a special place in this species. This is a leafless succulent, shaped like a bush. Its branches have practically no leaves, but the stems are large and well developed, which allows the plant to store moisture in them.
Tithymaloid pedilanthus is no less popular species. This shrub is highly prized for its ornamental features of both flower and leaves. The flower is miniature in shape and resembles a bird or a neat slipper. The color of the leaves is also interesting: a green middle, white edges and blotches in the center. Some species of pedilanthus are characterized by the transition of its tips to pink or red. The stems of pedilantus tithymaloidus are zigzag due to the fact that with the growth of each new leaf, the direction of their growth changes. Pedilanthus blooms in late autumn. The inflorescences are covered with red leaves, located at the top of the stem.
Pedilanthus finkii (Pedilanthus finkii)
Pedilanthus finca lives in humid and hot tropical forests. It is a shrub that grows well on loose and light substrates.

Nematanthus plant (Nematanthus) is a representative of the Gesneriev family. This South American genus includes about 35 species, the main part of which are epiphytes: shrubs, semi-shrubs or lianas. Not so long ago, this genus was combined with another member of the same family – hypocyrta, so the same plants can be found under both names.
“Nematanthus” can be translated as “a flower on a thread”, this is due to the thin thread-like pedicels of some members of the genus. Their flowers have a bright color of a red-yellow palette or pink color and fused petals, because of which the corolla can take on the shape of an ajar pocket or resemble a berry more than a flower. Due to the fact that in some species the flowers have a characteristic convex shape, the people of the plant are known as “goldfish”.
The table shows brief rules for caring for nematanthus at home.
Light level
Need bright but diffused light for 12-14 hours a day. Best of all, the plant will feel on the eastern or western windows.
Content temperature
The optimum temperature is 19-24 degrees. In winter, the flower goes to rest, so it should be moved to a cooler (about 14-16 degrees) place.
Watering regimen
From spring to autumn, when the plant is most actively developing the above-ground part, it is required to water as the top layer of soil dries out.
Humidity
Nematanthus prefers an average level of humidity – about 50-60%.
Soil
Nematanthus grows in light and loose soil, which is well permeable to air and moisture. Its reaction may be slightly acidic or neutral.
Top dressing
During the entire growth period, the plant is fed every two weeks, using complex mineral compositions.
Transplantation
Transplantation is carried out in the spring, but only if necessary, once every 2-3 years.
Pruning
Pruning is carried out immediately after flowering, shortening the shoots of younger plants by a third, and old ones by half.
Flowering
At home, bright Nematanthus flowers appear from spring to mid-autumn.
Rest period
Rest period occurs with the advent of a significant reduction in daylight hours, usually in winter.
Propagation
Seeds, cuttings.
Pests
Aphids, thrips and spider mites.
Diseases
Powdery mildew, gray mold, other diseases due to improper care.
Nematanthus care at home
Lighting
Nematanthus needs bright but diffused light for 12 to 14 hours a day to fully develop. Best of all, such a flower will feel on the eastern or western windows. From the north side in winter, lighting will be insufficient. Such conditions can adversely affect the abundance of flowering, so the lack of illumination will have to be compensated with fitolamps. With small specimens, this is easier to do, but large nematanthus under the lamp may no longer fit. On the south side, the plants will have to be shaded from the sultry midday rays. Otherwise, burns will remain on the foliage of the nematanthus.
Temperature
Nematanthus must spend the entire period of development in a warm room. The optimum temperature for it is considered to be 19-24 degrees. In winter, the flower goes to rest, so it should be moved to a cooler (about 14-16 degrees) corner. The plant tolerates short periods of a more significant decrease in temperature quite well, but if less than 13 degrees is kept in a room with it for a long time, the appearance of the bush may suffer. At 7 degrees or less, it will drop foliage. They do not like plants and intense heat – at 27 degrees and above, their foliage may begin to dry out. Such conditions should be compensated by increased humidity. At the same time, daily fluctuations in day and night temperatures by 5 or even 10 degrees will only contribute to the development of the bush.
Warm wintering of nematanthus can have a negative effect on its flowering in the next season. It will be weaker or flowers will not appear at all. To form buds, the bush must rest in the cool for at least 2 months.
Watering
From spring to autumn, when the nematantus is most actively developing the above-ground part, it needs to be watered as the topsoil dries out. Large-leaved types of nematanthus require more moisture, so each species should choose its own irrigation schedule, focusing on both the size of the bush and the composition of the soil. When the flower has a dormant period, the number of waterings should be reduced, as well as their intensity. It is especially important to follow this rule if the nematanthus is kept cool.
Soft and well-settled water at room temperature is used for watering the nematanthus. It is not worth overdrying the earth in a pot. From a lack of moisture, the bushes will begin to shed small foliage or twist larger ones. If the soil lump is still dry, you need to put the pot in a container filled with water. As soon as the substrate absorbs enough moisture, the flower is removed from the water. Until the plant returns to normal, you can put a bag on it to create greenhouse conditions.
The voids formed between the pot and the soil clod are filled with fresh substrate.
Humidity level
Nematanthus prefers an average humidity level – about 50-60%. But the higher the temperature in the room, the higher the humidity should become. It is especially important to follow this rule in the heat (from 27 degrees and above).
Nematanthus foliage can be moistened with a spray bottle in spring and summer. For this, as for irrigation, only soft water is used. When the nematantus hibernates in a cool place, it should not be sprayed, but if the air in the room becomes excessively dry, other methods of increasing humidity should be used. So a pot with a nematanthus can be put on a pallet filled with wet pebbles.
Soil
The soil for planting nematanthus should be sufficiently light and loose, as well as pass air and moisture well. Its reaction may be slightly acidic or neutral. To create a suitable substrate, you can use a double part of the leafy earth, as well as peat, sand and humus. If the nematanthus will be planted in the finished mixture, finely chopped sphagnum and crushed charcoal should be added there.
Top dressing
The entire growth period of the nematanthus is fed every two weeks, using complex mineral compositions, including potassium and phosphorus. Starting from autumn, the number of top dressings is gradually reduced, and from mid-October to the end of the winter period they are not applied at all. Excessive amounts of nutrients can lead to fading of the color of the leaves and flowers of the plant.
Transplantation
Nematanthus transplantation is carried out in the spring, but only if necessary, once every 2-3 years. To do this, choose the time when they are just starting to form fresh shoots. Nematanthus roots are not large. The new container for the plant should only slightly (1-2 cm) exceed the old one in size. In a pot that is too voluminous, the bush will begin to build up the root system and will not bloom for some time. The bushes are transplanted into a new container along with a soil clod. It is not worth compacting the soil in a pot. A layer of drainage is laid at the bottom of the selected pot to ensure the removal of excess moisture.
Pruning
Pruning of the nematantus is carried out immediately after flowering, shortening the shoots of younger plants by a third, and old ones by half. If the plant is left in a warm room in winter, during this period its shoots can stretch out even after pruning. In this case, they are cut again in the spring, trying to shorten too long branches.
An old nematanthus can be renewed by cutting cuttings from it. To do this, choose the strongest and strongest branches. This will turn one bush that has lost its appearance into several younger and neater ones.
Flowering
In nature, the plant blooms in summer, but at home, bright flowers of nematanthus appear from spring to mid-autumn. Sometimes, with sufficient light, flowering can begin even in winter. A feature of the nematanthus is that the bulk of its flowers appear on fresh growth. Because of this, for full flowering in each season, the bushes should be cut. This contributes not only to the splendor of flowering, but also to the rejuvenation of plantings.
Rest period
The period of dormancy in nematanthus begins with the advent of a significant reduction in daylight hours, usually in winter. During these months, the houseplant requires moderate moisture and maintenance in a bright but cool room.
Nematanthus breeding methods
Growing from seeds
Nematanthus can be propagated by seed both in nature and at home. Ripened boxes with tiny seeds, which are formed in place of flowers, are removed and their contents are shaken out onto a sheet of paper. For sowing, prepare a container with loose soil. It should be smoothed and then moistened. They try to spread the seeds evenly over the surface of the soil, gradually shaking them off the paper sheet. It is not necessary to sprinkle the crops, but the container itself must be covered with glass or film. Watering is carried out through the pan, so as not to disturb the location of the seeds on the soil. With the advent of seedlings, the film is removed.
When the seedlings grow a little, they dive, planting several pieces per pot. This will allow you to get a larger and lush bush. Flowering will begin a year after sowing.
Cuttings
# Growing Nematanthus . How to propagate. What is the key to its successful cultivation. Soleyroliya
Watch this video on YouTube
Nematanthus can also be propagated from cuttings. Cuttings are taken from the tops or other part of the stems. You can cut them throughout the year. It is believed that mature shoots take root better than young ones. The length of the segments should be about 7-10 cm, they can have about 4-8 internodes. The lower third of the resulting cuttings are cleaned of leaves, and then they are planted in light, loose soil or sphagnum. They should be placed so that the node itself is immersed in the soil – it is from it that the cutting can develop aerial roots, which will turn into ordinary ones. Rooting takes 2-3 weeks. To speed up the process, seedlings are placed in greenhouse conditions.
The nematanthus from which the planting material was taken is left in partial shade for some time after pruning. When the cuttings take root, they, like seedlings, are planted 4-6 pieces in one container. Soon after the transplant, they start to grow and develop into full-fledged bushes.
Pests and diseases
The main problems with the cultivation of nematanthus begin due to errors in caring for the flower and non-compliance with the necessary conditions for it.
Falling leaves in the autumn-winter period indicates that the temperature in the room is not high enough.
Brown specks on the foliage – a consequence of the use of ice water for irrigation. It should not be cooler than 20 degrees. Similar spots can also form due to irregular watering or frequent waterlogging of the soil.
The bush does not bloom – lack of lighting, very cold or dry air in the room, lack of nutrients, improper pruning (or long absence of pruning).
Flowers turn brown and fall off when wet. During the flowering period, the bush should be sprayed especially carefully. Bud drop can also be caused by overflow or cold in the room.
Root drying – most often occurs in summer due to insufficient or heavy watering. Strong drying of the soil should not be allowed.
The upper part of the leaf blades turns yellow and dries out due to excessively dry air or heat.
Paleness of leaves – excess of nutrients, dry air or too bright light.
Constantly moist soil that does not have time to dry out can lead to the development of gray rot. Watering in this case should be reduced. If the flower is affected by powdery mildew, the bush should be treated with a fungicide.
Aphids, thrips and spider mites are considered pests of the flower. Pests need to be dealt with with the help of special means.
Types of nematanthus with photos and names
Riverine nematanthus (Nematanthus fluminensis)
The species consists of plants with climbing stems. Nematanthus fluminensis has elliptical foliage arranged oppositely on the shoots. The length of satin sheet plates reaches 5-10 cm. They are green in color, and from the inside – a purple hue. In the leaf axils, flowers about 5 cm in size, pubescent in the area of the tube, are formed, which have a lemon color with reddish spots.
Fritsch’s Nematanthus (Nematanthus fritschii)
In nature, the size of the bushes of this species reaches 60 cm. Nematanthus fritschii has green foliage with a reddish underside. The length of the plates is about 7.5 cm. The stems and the wrong side of the leaves are pubescent. Curved flowers are painted bright pink, and the diameter of their funnel reaches 5 cm.
Nematanthus longipes
Epiphyte with climbing shoots. Nematanthus longipes has elliptical-shaped foliage up to 4 cm wide and up to 10 cm long. It is located opposite and is colored light green.

Breeds and types of hamsters – description, photo, maintenance and care of a hamster at home

Hamster breeds
Basic rules for the selection and keeping of hamsters
For the comfortable life of a new friend, prepare
Providing security
Breeds of domestic hamsters differ from each other in appearance and behavior. To make life with a pet comfortable, you need to consider many factors.
Hamster breeds
Six breeds of hamsters are recommended for keeping at home. You can not settle together rodents of different species, as they will not be able to get along peacefully.
Common hamsters.
Dzungarian (Dzhungariki).
Syrian.
Chinese.
Campbell.
Robkovsky’s Hamsters.
Important! When choosing a new family member, consider the characteristics of each breed, because the pet will live with you for more than one year.
Common hamsters (Cricetus cricetus)
The largest species of domestic hamsters. These rodents are aggressive, freedom-loving and zealously protect the territory. Be prepared for the fact that the hamster will choose one owner among family members and recognize only him, aggressively protecting himself and the house from other people. Of the benefits – the original tricolor coloring, active behavior, which is interesting to watch.
Breed characteristics:
Color: tricolor, black belly, brown back, white toes and white muzzle.
Body length: 20-35 cm.
Character: solitary content recommended
Life expectancy: about 3 years.
Djungarian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus)
Cute dwarf “furballs” are easy to keep, have an accommodating character and look beautiful. They have a light abdomen, and on the back there is a characteristic dark stripe along the spine. Jungar coloring:
standard – brown gray with white belly;
pearl – white with gray patches;
sapphire – gray with a white belly;
mandarin – creamy red.
Breed characteristics:
body length – up to 10 cm;
character – for single content;
life expectancy – from 2 to 4 years.
Dzungaria get along well with the owners, but other hamsters will be treated with hostility. Only same-sex babies under the age of 1 month can be kept together. Like Campbell’s hamsters, djungars start to smell strongly if the litter is not changed frequently.
Chinese Hamsters
Active mobile pets are very similar to mice. Their tail is longer than that of other hamsters, the muzzle and body are narrower and more elongated. There is a dark stripe on the back, the color is sandy-brown, white-gray or spotted.
Breed characteristics:
body length – from 8 to 12 cm;
character – for single content;
life expectancy – from 2.5 to 3 years.
Timid, good-natured rodents almost do not bite, and are often active both at night and during the day. In nature, they live in groups, but it is better not to house hamsters together at home.
Syrian (golden) hamsters
Golden hamsters love sports and love to explore the world around them. They are sociable and inquisitive, they like to walk through labyrinths and run in a wheel. Syrian hamsters do not wean from the owner even after breaks in communication.
Breed characteristics:
body length – from 13 to 18 cm;
character – for single content;
life expectancy – from 2 to 4 years.
Of the representatives of the Syrian breed, a subspecies is distinguished – Angora hamsters. Their feature is a wide variety of colors. The coat of pets needs to be combed often, but bathing is excluded.
Campbell’s Hamsters (Russian Dwarfs)
Miniature hamsters with a thin black stripe on their back can be any color – brown, gray, white or cream. If you do not remove cage for a long time , pets will smell strongly – the breed has a special gland that produces an odorous secret.
Breed characteristics:
body length – from 8 to 10 cm;
character – for single content;
life expectancy – from 1.5 to 2.5 years.
In nature, Campbell’s hamsters live in pairs or family groups, but you do not need to house them together at home – the animals will fight. It is more difficult to tame these animals than other hamsters – they love to bite, so you can only pick them up with gloves.
Roborovsky Hamsters
Sandy yellow miniature hamsters are active in the evenings and at night. This is the only breed suitable for group (same-sex) keeping.
Breed characteristics:
body length – from 4 to 5 cm;
character – for group content;
life expectancy – from 3 to 3.5 years.
Roborovsky hamsters are very fast, small and fragile – it is better not to take them with your hands. These pets are great for observation – kids love to play in the terrarium, touchingly communicate with each other.
Basic rules for choosing and keeping hamsters
Hamsters are simple pets to keep at home. It is enough to know a few rules of maintenance so that the pet is always cheerful and healthy.
How to keep a pet hamster:
do not bathe;
do not frighten or punish;
do not settle in groups of different sexes;
to settle in a spacious cage and give toys;
pick up a cage with small cells.
Like any pet, a hamster needs constant access to drinking water and a proper diet. Decorative pet hamsters are prone to diabetes, so care must be taken not to eat too much fruit. Wild European hamsters are less susceptible to this disease and are considered the healthiest members of the species.
Hamsters are masters of escape. The smaller the rodent, the easier it is to get out of the cage and go on a trip around the house. It is difficult to catch the animal – an animal frightened by the search can run away from the owner for a very long time. Escape and capture can result in stress and even death of the animal. Therefore, for games and communication, choose medium-sized hamsters (10-15 cm). They are easier to hold in your hands, and a cage with a fine mesh is suitable for keeping.
The behavior of a hamster cannot be changed. For example, a nocturnal animal will not be active during the day, and a neighbor cannot be added to an aggressive or adult pet.
Prepare your new friend for a comfortable life
1. cage . Choose a model that is not covered with paint. Hamsters like to gnaw on metal rods, and the coating applied to the cage can cause poisoning or chemical burns of the esophagus. The rods should be well welded and not have protruding corners. The optimal distance between them is no more than 1 cm. Check the door for a strong lock.
Important! There are cell models that include the necessary filling – a house, a drinking bowl, a wheel, a pipe.
2. Filler . Do not lay sawdust in the cage – the animal may get hurt. Choose wood or paper filler. Each type retains odor and does not contain toxic substances. The paper version is hypoallergenic, the wood version is difficult to scatter, so it will be clean around the cage.
3. Running wheel . In the wild, the hamster is able to travel long distances. Physical activity is necessary to strengthen the immune system and prevent the development of obesity. For rodents of large breeds, a wheel with a diameter of 18 cm is suitable, for small ones – 14-16 cm.
4. House . A small rodent will drag a soft toilet into the house and will sleep peacefully snoring. The houses imitate the minks familiar to hamsters, so the pet will hide supplies there. Clean every two days, throw away spoiled food (pieces of vegetables, fruits, herbs). Shelters are made of safe materials – wood, ceramics, plastic.
5. Drinker . Clean water should be available to the hamster. The drinker should be firmly attached to the cage. Rinse the device before pouring fresh water.
6. Feeder . Choose ceramic accessories. They will not be easy to turn over, so the pet’s food will not be on the bedding. A small bowl fits in any cage and helps to accurately dose food.
Important! In order to save space in the cage, you can choose a product that combines a house, a drinking bowl and a feeder.
7. Toilet . Hamsters love cleanliness, so the natural need, as a rule, is celebrated in the corner of the cage. Place a plastic toilet filled with pieces of tissue paper in it. Using the accessory will save time, because the bedding will not have to be changed often.
8. Tunnels . The device helps to brighten up the rodent’s leisure time when running in the wheel gets boring. Build multilevel constructions and labyrinths, where your pet will have fun moving around.
9. Hammock . Serves as an additional resting place. Hammock houses retain heat, so it is comfortable to sleep in them if the house is cool.
10. Toys . Wooden models can be shifted from place to place and driven around the cage. Textile accessories are durable. The toys are made from safe materials, so don’t worry if your pet accidentally swallows a piece.
11. Food and treats . Specialized feeds include a set of ingredients necessary for a balanced diet. Healthy treats complete the diet. And they are so much fun to chew on!
12. Walking ball . Permanent stay in the cage can be diluted with walks in the ball. Thanks to the device, the rodent will safely travel around the apartment, exploring interesting places.
13. Carrier . Necessary for the transportation of the animal. Carrying a hamster in your pocket or bag is dangerous – he can get out of hiding and run away.
Keeping safe
Despite the fact that the hamster will spend most of his life in a cage, the environment can be dangerous for him.
Our advice:
Keep the room at 22-24 degrees;
Avoid direct sunlight, drafts and heaters;
Try to limit contact with other animals;
Ventilate the room, do not smoke in the room where the cage is;
Make sure that the rodent’s home is located far from plants, wires, household chemicals.

Abstract
Background:
Recently, Kingella kingae (K. kingae) has been described as the most common agent of skeletal system infections in children 6 months-2 years of age. More exceptional is the clinical presentation in clusters of invasive K. kingae infections. We describe the investigation of the first outbreak of 3 cases of arthritis caused by K. kingae documented in Spain detected in a daycare center in Roses, Girona.
Patients and methods:
In December of 2015 surveillance throat swabs obtained from all attendees from the same class of the index daycare center were assessed to study the prevalence of K. kingae colonization. The sample was composed of 9 toddlers (range: 16-23 months of age). Investigation was performed by culture and K. kingae-specific RT-PCR. Combined amoxicillin-rifampicin prophylaxis was offered to all attendees who were colonized by K. kingae. Following antimicrobial prophylaxis, a new throat swab was taken to confirm bacterial eradication.
Results:
K. kingae was detected by RT-PCR throat swabs in the 3 index cases and 5 of the 6 daycare attendees. Cultures were negative in all cases. After administration of prophylactic antibiotics, 3 toddlers were still positive for K. kingae-specific RT-PCR.
Conclusions:
Clusters of invasive K. kingae infections can occur in daycare facilities and closed communities. Increased awareness and use of sensitive detection methods are needed to identify and adequately investigate outbreaks of K. kingae disease. In our experience, the administration of prophylactic antibiotics could result in partial eradication of colonization. No further cases of disease were detected after prophylaxis.

Borya | Library SERANN
A newcomer was brought into the ward. A hefty guy, full, even with a belly, handsome, about twenty-seven, but with the mind of a two-year-old child. He immediately smiled from the doorway and said loudly to everyone:
— Pivet, Pivet!
Many of those who lay here for the first time knew this guy. Borya. He lives near the bazaar with his father and mother, on Sundays, when there are a lot of people in the bazaar, he opens the window and barks at people, does not bark evilly – it’s fun. He is generally kind.
– Pivet, Borya, Pivet! Why are you here? What did you do again?
The nanny, making a bed for Borya, says:
— Our Borya dispersed his mother and father.
— What are you, Borya?! Did you beat your mother and father?
Borya closes his eyes and shakes his head vigorously:
— Bose no boo, no boo, no boo!.. — there will be no more.
— Why is he them?
– They didn’t buy a rose! He began to ask his mother – buy him a rose, and that’s it.
– Bose no boo, no boo!
– Lie down now and lie down. “Don’t boo!”
— Does mom pee? Borya gets scared when the nanny leaves.
“Mom peeps, peeps,” the patients soothe him. – I dispersed it myself, and now – mom.
The ward became a little livelier. With fools, I noticed, it is much easier, more interesting than with some smart girl who doesn’t get out of his head that he is a smart girl. And one more thing: the fools, as far as I have seen them, are almost always kind people, and it is a pity for them, and inevitably they are drawn to philosophize. In order not to philosophize at the end – this is always bad – I will now say with what approximately thoughts I ended my observations of Borea (I feel like saying it anyway). I thought: “Is life a comedy or a tragedy?” Somewhat beautifully written, but the thought in a serious way rested here; a comedy or a quiet, eerie tragedy in which all of us, from Napoleon to Bory, are clumsy, stupid actors, especially Napoleon with crossed arms and a cocked hat. In vain, after all, they exclaimed: “You must not feel sorry for a person! ..” This, too, is from an awkward, very proud posture. Respect – yes. Only after all, respect is a thing that comes with culture. Pity is higher than us, wiser than our libraries… Mother is the most respected thing in life, the most dear – everything consists of pity. She loves her child, respects, is jealous, wants the best for him – a lot of things, but invariably, all her life – she regrets. Here Nature has ordered for us. Take away her pity, leave her higher education, the ability to educate, respect … Leave her everything, but take away her pity, and life in three weeks will turn into a global mess. Why do the people rise all in anger when the enemy is on the threshold? Because everyone feels sorry for all mothers, children, native land. It’s a pity! You may not agree, but I also know about sacred duty, and about honor, and dignity, and so on. But still – in a huge measure – it’s a pity.
Well, it’s time to go back to Bora. I didn’t watch him on purpose, but I thought about him a lot. All day long in the ward, in the corridor, one could only hear:
— Beer-et! And mom? .. Pidet?
– Borya will come, she will come, where will she go. Let me get some rest from you.
Borya laughs, happy that his mother will come.
— Bus, bus?.. Yes?
— By bus, yes.
Even when we go to bed, Borya keeps asking:
— Is your mother sick?
He doesn’t bother anyone. He endures injections steadfastly, only he squints his eyes tightly and says in amazement:
— It hurts!
And then, with delight, he tells everyone that it hurt.
They don’t laugh at him, they willingly answer that his mother “will come, she will come” more, harder Borya doesn’t know how to ask questions.
Once I carried out, as I now understand, also a rather clumsy experiment. Borya was sitting on a bench in the yard… I sat down next to him and called:
— Borya.
Borya turned to me, and I began to look attentively into his eyes. I stared for a long time … I wanted to understand: is there even a spark of reason there, or has it died out a long time ago, completely? Borya also looked at me. And I didn’t stumble – as happens with sane people – on any thought that I would read in his eyes, on any silent question, on any bewilderment, to which we, looking into the eyes of the sane, immediately also silently answer – bewilderment, contempt, defiant: “Well?” In Borya’s eyes, there is a comprehensive, calm benevolence, such as wise old people have. I became uncomfortable.
“Mom is kicking,” I said, and I felt completely ashamed. And getting up and leaving right away is also a shame.
– Mom pee? Yes? Borya laughed, happy.
— Mom is crying, crying, — I looked around — is anyone watching me? It would be terrible. For everyone, it’s somehow easy, it turns out like that. “Mom is crying, Borya! Pidet. And that’s it. And they go about their business – smoking, washing, drinking medicine. I was sitting on a bench, as if rooted to it, did not dare to say again: “Mom pidet.” And I couldn’t leave either – it seemed to me that I would hear the most insulting, most destructive thing that a person has in store, laughter in my back.
– Bus? Yes?
“Yes, yes, he will come by bus,” I said, and looked away.
– Pivet! Borya exclaimed and shook my hand. Even die, it seemed to me that he was mocking me. I got up and went into the room. And then he imperceptibly watched Borea – if he was laughing, looking at me from his bed. You have to be careful with these people.
Borya can sit motionless on a bench for a long time… He sits, looks thoughtfully in front of him. At such moments I look at him from the side and think hard: does he really know how to get angry? He arranged a scandal at home because they didn’t buy a rose for him. He burst into tears, began to throw chairs, his mother turned up, his mother pushed, his father … Then why is he a half-wit? This is a perfectly reasonable solution to the issue: to take out annoyance on loved ones, we all do it. Or does he not understand what he did? He feels annoyance, but he doesn’t know how to cause offense properly …
A lunatic with long arms, narrow-minded showed up in the next ward. I’m afraid of officials, salesmen, and people like this gorilla. And they somehow guess who is afraid of them. Once, one official condescendingly, smiling a little sadly, told me for two hours how a kulak bullet hit him here, in the neck … “It’s good that it ricocheted, otherwise it would . .. … “And I strained with all my might, in every possible way showed that I believe him, that I was very interested in all this.
As soon as he came, the gorilla lassoed me in the corridor and told me for a long, stormy time how he had hit his mother-in-law, neighbor, wife… That he had a police passport. “I’m a kid with a cheerful soul, I don’t like it when they start me…”
Somehow a gorilla came into our ward, laughing.
— This, your fool… gave him a cigarette: eat, I say, sweet. Ate all!
We were silent. When a boor appears like this, a big boor, and says with a laugh that he just did something nasty, then everyone becomes bitter. And they are silent. They are silent because it is useless to talk. Here you must immediately beat a stool on the head – the only way to tell the boor that he did not do well. But fuss here, in the ward, no one is going to start with him. He would gladly do it. One premature old man, an informer by the inclination of his soul, went to his sister and said that “a boy with a cheerful soul” forced Borya to eat a cigarette. The sister found the “boy” and began to scold. “Kid” cursed her obscenities. Sister to the doctor. Doctor’s order: write out for violation of the regime.
The “kid” left the hospital when everyone was in the yard.
– Goodbye, soap factory urks! he said goodbye loudly. And laughed. I don’t know, I won’t say, but, in my opinion, our most distant ancestors laughed a lot.
Our hospital is outside the city, two kilometers to get to the bus. Four, who are lighter on the leg and more reliable in the shoulders, got up and went to cut across the “kid with a cheerful soul.”
Twenty minutes later they returned, slightly torn, but satisfied. One of them must have closed his left eye for a long time.
The four shared their impressions in a low voice.
— Healthy!..
— Oral?
– Cursing. He began to swing the rights, tore his shirt on himself, proving that he was a thug.
Borya appears on the porch and again rushes to someone with outstretched hand.
– Beer-em!
– Pivet, Borya, Pivet.
— Does mom pee?
– Pidet, pidet.
Hot. If only there was a little breeze, if only somehow this stuffy peace would be stirred up … If only from here – somewhere!
Sergei Makhotin. BORYA LAPTEV
C ergey M Akhotin
Borya Laptev
N Old ladies were sitting on the bench. A boy walked past with a briefcase. The old women followed how he poked
finger in the combination lock, entered the entrance and quietly closed the door behind him.
“I haven’t seen him before,” one said worriedly.
– No, here, – objected another. – From the fifteenth, perhaps, apartments?
– From the tenth, – corrected the third. – Shoemaker’s son.
The old women calmed down and continued talking about health.
The boy’s name was Borya. His last name was not Sapozhnikov, but Laptev. And he lived not in the fifteenth, not in the tenth, but in the fourth apartment. But
He was…how can I say? He was kind of obscure. Even the old women, who knew everything about everyone and received pride from the residents
nicknamed “people’s avengers”, – and they did not show any interest in Bora. What to say about classmates! Especially about
classmates!..
By the way, Borya’s homeliness had its advantages. He was not called to the board for months. Teachers remembered him only when
it was time to display the assessment for half a year. And, ashamed of their own forgetfulness, they gave him four.
Sometimes in the lesson Boris raised his hand, wanting to answer the question correctly. And then a mathematician or an Englishwoman looked at him with
surprised: “New kid, probably. What is his name? ..” The teacher looked at the other raised hand and with relief
listened to the response of a recognizable student.
Borya had no favorite subjects. Once, in some detective story, he read that people with an inconspicuous appearance are taken as scouts.
How they take it there and what knowledge is required for this, he did not know.
In the family, detectives were the only reading. Once a week, my father bought a new book and read it first. Then my mother read. Then
the turn came to Bori. The author of a detective story about inconspicuous intelligence officers had an inconspicuous last name: Johnson or Jackson. There was no way
don’t remember. In the end, Borya decided that he needed to learn English – the main spy language. Soon, however, he became interested
geography.
Everyone brought contour maps to the control. It was necessary to designate the seas washing the northern shores of the country. Borya started with the Barents.
Then he proceeded to Karskoy, which indeed slightly resembles a crow’s wing. The Laptev Sea stretches in the neighborhood. Borya postponed
pencil and thought for a long time.
In the evening he asked:
– Do we have relatives who are famous?
“Your uncle is already famous, so famous,” sighed my mother, looking reproachfully at her father.
“I don’t want to hear about him,” he snapped, not looking up from the detective.
Does he live in the north? Borya asked.
– How do you know that? Mom was surprised.
– By the sea?
– Hold on. – Mom pulled out a chest of drawers, took out a cardboard box and, rummaging through it, took out a New Year’s card with dancing
around the Christmas tree with hares. – That’s what he writes. – Mom put on glasses and read, addressing mainly not to Bora, but to her father: – “I settled down
in a new place. The whole sea is covered in ice. Northern lights, seals. Almost will, and the soul rests. I don’t think about the future, but the road to the past
no. Maybe I’ll stay here forever, by my sea. Do not remember dashingly. Matvey.” – Mom took off her glasses and said sympathetically: – You
would answer him. A native brother.
The father was silent.
Borya smiled and asked his mother nothing more. The information he received was enough.
At the next geography lesson, he extended his hand with such zeal that the geographer Yuryich finally invited him to the blackboard. More precisely, to the closing
the entire map board. Borya grabbed the pointer and proudly began to talk about the Laptev Sea. How huge it is – seven hundred square
kilometers! And deep! He showed the rivers flowing into the sea – Khatanga, Yana and Lena, of course. He circled Taimyr, Severnaya Zemlya with a pointer,
Novosibirsk Islands. He told about the seal and the bearded seal. He was even out of breath, afraid that he would be killed or stopped. But everyone listened
with curiosity.
– Wonderful! – Yuryich praised and reached for Borya’s diary. – Well, how – Laptev! Who, if not you, knows the Laptev Sea.
Five, sit down.
“By the way, my uncle is still alive,” Borya said and went to his desk.
– Well, well, – the geographer shrugged his shoulders, somewhat puzzled by this message. – And who is he?
Borya turned around and said with meaning:
– Matvey Laptev. It is to him that the sea owes its name.
It sounded so unexpected that no one in the class even laughed. Yuryich, considering Borya’s words not a very successful joke, waved
hand and called another student. The lesson continued.
The teacher stayed in the office longer than usual that day. Leaving the school in the evening, he headed for the trolleybus stop
short way – through the nearest yard. Teenagers gathered on the playground, about seven people. Some even smoked. But this did not prompt
geographer to stop, and two words pronounced loudly and cheerfully: the Laptev Sea. Hoping that at dusk they would not notice him, Yuryich
came closer.
– … He did not even immediately guess that the sea was under him, – said the youngest in the company. – Polar night, you can’t see ahead
nothing. Only the blizzard got stronger. Then the hummocks began to come across.
– What are the hummocks? someone asked.
– Well, heaps of ice floes. Then he sees: something is smoking two steps away. And this is a polynya! Wide, do not jump over. ok, on time
noticed. And suddenly – how the water splashes! Uncle Matvey was covered from head to toe. And the walrus emerges. Fangs – from such! ..
“Yes, this is Laptev,” the geographer finally found out. “I gave him a five today. Well, the kid is lying!”
Yuryich was a young teacher. He wanted to see a personality in each student and influence its development. So he went back to school, found
in the classroom magazine, the Laptevs’ phone number and without delay called directly from the teacher’s room.
The father picked up the phone.
– Ivan Stepanovich? It’s Borin’s geography teacher that worries you. Tell me, does Boris have an uncle?
– What is it?
– It seems to me that for Borya he is a great authority. But the influence he has on the boy…
“He can’t exert any influence,” interrupted Borin’s father. – He is a thief and far from here.
– As you said? – the teacher was confused.
– I cleaned the dacha of the regional prosecutor. Received in full. He spent five years in the camp. Now in the settlement. Did Borka do something?
– No, no, – the teacher hastened to assure, for some reason feeling guilty. – Borya is a good student. Got five today.
– Well then, okay, – Borin’s father finished the conversation.
For another five minutes, the geographer Yuryich listened to short beeps, until he finally realized to hang up the phone.
The next geography lesson for the sixth graders was in a week. And all this time, Boris Laptev and his criminal uncle did not go out at
Yurich from the head. It would seem, what is easier – to call Laptev for a conversation, to explain that a lie does not lead to anything good, that
there are many role models around … Here Yuryich frowned, dissatisfied with himself: “I argue like an old grumbler. I lose my pedagogical
flair. Lidia Yakovlevna must be consulted.”
Lidia Yakovlevna worked at the school longer than other teachers. Everyone loved her, even the students. When the geographer looked in after school
literature classroom, Lidia Yakovlevna checked the compositions of sixth graders. Her eyes glowed.
– Just listen, Vladimir Yurievich, what one boy wrote. Topics of the essay “My most vivid impression of summer.” – She is
opened one of the notebooks and read: – “In the summer I visited Uncle Matvey. He lives in the north. One night I woke up from a lingering
howl. Howled a huge wolf. But I wasn’t afraid. Because the wolf was not evil. His uncle tamed him, and he serves him like a dog. I went out
from home, stroked the wolf, and the beast calmed down. Then the northern lights began. The wolf and I admired him for a long time. describe it
impossible. Uncle Matvey said about the northern lights that this sky plays on a multi-colored harmonica.”
Lidia Yakovlevna put down her notebook and repeated:
– “The sky plays on a multi-colored harmonica.” How good! Lots of mistakes, unfortunately.
– Didn’t Laptev write that? Yurich asked cautiously.
– Yes, Borya Laptev. How did you guess? And, you know, I never paid any attention to him. A talented boy, it turns out.
“He lied everything,” said the geographer. “I got it into my head that his uncle is a great man. What to do with it, I have no idea.
Lidia Yakovlevna thought for a moment. Then she smiled again and said:
– These are all childish fantasies. It will pass with time. Do not judge him strictly, Vladimir Yurievich. Who knows, maybe he himself someday
become famous.
The geographer just shrugged and sighed.
Week is gone. At the appointed hour, Yuryich entered the classroom and announced:
I won’t ask anyone today. The sixth graders cheered happily. – Today I will tell you about two brothers, about two
wonderful pioneers. One was named Dmitry, the other Khariton. Their merits to the Fatherland are so great that in their honor
called the whole sea!
Yuryich solemnly looked at the students, looking for Borya Laptev with his eyes. And suddenly he caught himself on the fact that he did not remember his physiognomy at all.
But it was impossible to delay the pause. And the teacher continued the lesson, for which he prepared especially carefully. He was even a little worried.
His excitement involuntarily passed on to his students. Everyone fell silent, listening to the story about the first graduates of the Naval Academy, who passed
exam to Peter the Great himself. And so began – also Great – the Northern Expedition.
– It was a time of unprecedented cold weather, – Yuryich said. – In Holland, the canals froze, in England, the Thames stood up. Came like this
called the Little Ice Age. Boat “Irkutsk” stuck in the mouth of the Kolyma. And then the detachment of Dmitry Laptev moved to dog sleds
and continued his journey to the east, to the shores of the Pacific Ocean, as it was then called …
Fifteen minutes later the class got tired. The adventure is over. The names of the Yakut and Chukchi rivers, capes, prisons mixed up in
heads. “Nothing,” the geographer reassured himself, “they will grow up and understand that the daily painstaking work of creating a new map can also
be a feat. “But in the depths of his soul he regretted that there were no mortal fights with a polar bear in the fate of his cousins, nor
meetings with militant “non-peaceful Chukchi” or shipwrecks. “Don’t lie, really!” he thought with irritation, and again
looked around for Borya.
The bell rang.
– And Dmitry Yakovlevich, the only one of the officers of the Great Northern Expedition, rose to the rank of admiral, – finished Yuryich
lesson. And he asked with a smile: “Does Laptev want to add anything to this?”
“But he didn’t seem to be there today,” someone answered. – Maybe sick?
The sixth graders rushed to the exit. The class is empty. Yuryich stood thoughtfully by the map. Then he exclaimed: “Well, wait for me”! and
hurriedly left the office.
Ten minutes later he stood at the right entrance and looked at the buttons of the combination lock.
– Who are you going to? – asked one of the old women on the bench.
– I need Boris Laptev from the fourth apartment, – Yuryich turned around. – I’m his school teacher.
– Did what? – inquired another.
– Listen, what’s your number here? I don’t have time at all.
– Is there a document? – squinted the third.
But then the door opened and Boris Laptev came out to meet the teacher. With a bruise under his eye. Oddly enough, the bruise really revived him.
a nondescript face, and Yuryich recognized him at once.
– Vladimir Yurievich? Borya muttered in surprise. – You to us?
– Why don’t you go to school? What’s up with your face?
– This is me… This is me…
“Let’s take a walk,” Yuryich ordered in a strict teacher’s tone.
Laptev sighed heavily and trudged after the teacher, dragging the old suitcase, which the angry Yuryich did not immediately notice.
They moved away from the old women and stopped.
– Where are you going?
– I’ll go to my uncle, – Borya answered quietly. Do you remember what I was talking about? The sea was also named after him.
– How so – will you go? – Yuryich was taken aback. – The middle of the quarter! Who will let you go!
– No, I’m not going to study. As soon as I get there, I will go to the local school. There are schools everywhere.
– What about parents? Listen, your uncle is no pioneer. What a fantasy you have driven into your head!
– Do not believe … – Borya sighed. – And you take it and believe.
– Yes, how can I believe it! – Yuryich slapped his palms on his thighs. – And, most importantly, why?
– It’s more interesting that way.
– More interesting? But imagine! Someone will find it uninteresting that twice two makes four. And what about redoing the math? to someone
I want to simplify the periodic table. Someone to rewrite history. Although she already, poor thing, got it …
– Ouch! Borya suddenly cried out, looking frightened behind Yuryich’s back. – Hide, please!
He quickly took a thick notebook out of his pocket and handed it to the teacher. He turned around. Laptev senior approached them with a sweeping step.
Without saying a word, he slapped his son on the back of the head, cast an evil glance at Yuryich, took the suitcase away from his son and shook his head to the side.
at home. The whimpering Borya trotted to the entrance. The father followed him.
Yuryich looked after them and did not know what to do. Catch up with your father and convince him that assault is not the best method of education? But what
offer in return? How to dissuade a student of his folly?
Having decided nothing, Yuryich went home. He was extremely dissatisfied with himself.
In the subway, sitting in an empty seat, he opened Borin’s notebook. “The ice floe had been drifting for the fourth day already. When a ship appeared on the horizon, Matvey had no strength left to call for help. Fortunately,
he was seen by the vigilant captain…”
Further, it was told how the traveler was picked up by a ship, in the hold of which the criminal boatswain hid smuggled furs. How
Matvey Laptev guessed this, and the boatswain planned the murder, but attacked the wrong one. Because when he attacked, he got such a plop that
flew overboard and ended up in the arms of a polar bear.
– Cool! The young man next to him chuckled. – It’s a pity to go out. If I were a publisher, I would immediately print it. He shifted his gaze to
Yurich and before getting up respectfully added: – Creative success to you!
– Yes, this is not mine! .. – Yuryich shouted after him and blushed.
He suddenly remembered a recent television series that had caused a lot of noise. The author of the script based on his own novel was a well-known and even respected
writer. But the history of the country in its most tragic decades was more like a vaudeville than a drama. And why is Boris Laptev worse! ..
In the evening he got a call from an old friend:
– Listen, drop your losers! I spoke with the professor, he remembers you. Postgraduate studies at the department are provided for you. Don’t miss out
chance, or you’ll be stuck in that stupid school until retirement.
A week later, Yuryich filed a letter of resignation.
An elderly teacher with a lulling voice began to teach geography to sixth graders.
– It’s a pity that Yuryich left, – Sonya Kozodoeva somehow sighed. – The teacher was nice.
– Yes, who needs this geography! Yurka Burlakin grimaced. – For me, for example, it certainly will never come in handy. Yes, and you too.
But the lessons were interesting. He always talked so enthusiastically!..
– Borka Laptev told even more interesting things! – Yurka waved it off.
However, by that time Borya was no longer their classmate. They say he made another attempt to get to the Laptev Sea. And
unsuccessful again. The father, blaming the former environment of his son for everything, either transferred him to another school; Or the whole family moved somewhere.
In a word, Borin’s further fate is unknown to us.
His notebook remained unclaimed. In the end, he ended up at the bottom of a large cardboard box, where Yuryich put old
letters and abstracts. There, in all likelihood, he is still gathering dust.

Abracadabra Your Way To Cool Mom Status With These Magic Tricks For Kids
Parenting
byDeirdre Kaye
Updated:
Originally Published:
Bashar Shglila/Getty Images
Remember how cool it was when we were growing up to watch David Copperfield specials on television? Sure, it turns out that Copperfield might have been a bit of a cringe-worthy person, but we didn’t know that at the time. All we knew was that he could make stuff disappear. For most of us, this was way before the likes of famous magicians like Criss Angel or magical characters like Harry Potter appeared in our lives. We dreamed of meeting someone who could make a train disappear or make us levitate. Sometimes we even wished we knew the tricks ourselves and bought magic sets. Kids these days are no different — even if there’s no crazy magic special on Sunday night television. They long to be witches, wizards, and magicians who perform impressive magic tricks for kids. And why not? There’s a lot of scary stuff in our world, and disappearing into a fantastical world sounds pretty nice. (It may or may not be why so many Disney adults exist.)
So, here we are: Your kid wants to learn magic tricks, and, welp, you never learned any. The magic you know is using a “Magic Eraser” to remove crayons from the wall and saying “Accio, caffeine” before you slurp your black coffee. It turns out, though, that there are actually still plenty of magic tricks you can learn and then teach your kids. We’re here to deliver those tricks to you.
Super Simple “Magic” Tricks for Little Kids
These tricks aren’t fooling anyone over the age of five or six. But they’re a fun way to get the ball rolling when showing off your “magic skills” and beginning to teach your kids sleight of hand.
1. Bending Spoon
This is all about hand placement and movement. While we’re not sure this technically constitutes sleight of hand since nothing happens very quickly, it does rely on your own finesse.
2. Rubber Pencil
We all know this trick, right? How many silly elementary school boys tried to impress you with their rubber pencil? For some reason, even after you know the trick, it’s still amusing enough to laugh at and roll your eyes.
3. The Shell Game
They recently did this magic trick on an episode of Clifford, and kids everywhere undoubtedly developed a new obsession. This easy tutorial walks you through how to make it happen.
4. Magnetic Pencil
Still have that “rubber” pencil handy? You kid will be doubly surprised to learn that it’s also magnetic. Later, they’ll enjoy seeing how easy it is to fake your way through it.
With a bit of grown-up help for set-up, even your youngest kids will be able to pull off this easy and fun magic trick. All you need are two cups, a sponge, some ice and some water. Can you turn water into ice instantaneously? We can… now.
6. The Magic Tube
In this video, the magic instructor uses some branded merchandise. Don’t let that fool you, though; you can easily teach your kids this magic trick with something as easy and cheap as an empty toilet paper roll or a paper towel tube.
7. Unbreakable Egg
When applying even pressure to an egg, it’s nearly impossible to break. Kids don’t know that, though. That makes this “magic” trick a true work of art. Still, we recommend practicing outside — just in case.
Cool Magic Tricks for Older Kids
8. Rope Magic: Thread The Needle
If your kid has great hand-eye coordination, they might be able to tackle this one. However, because of the level of finesse needed to make this one look believable, it’s best left to older kids. All you need is a needle and a piece of rope.
9. Coin-in-Rings Vanishing Act
This trick requires a bit of crafty setup that makes it perfect for older kids. After the initial setup, making the coin disappear is easy enough that kids of just about any age can tackle it.
10. Walk Through Paper
OK, so this one isn’t so much an actual magic trick as it is a joke or tease. All your kiddo needs for this is a piece of paper and some decent scissor skills.
11. Impassable Corks
Looking for some true sleight of hand magic? This trick is as old as time… and entertaining to boot!
12. Levitation
Time for the ultimate magic trick: Making yourself levitate. It’s actually easier than you think.
What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?
13. Mobius Strip
This isn’t necessarily a magic show trick, but it is a craft that will blow your kid’s mind. Making a Mobius Strip is a supernatural feat in itself. You’ll need a strip of paper, proper measurements, and tape. This paper design hails from Germany and has been a paper trick since the 1800s. So in between the magic, you can slip in some history too!
14. Multiplying Coins
Grab two fun colored paper plates. On the back of each one, tape a tiny paper pocket. Put about one to two quarters in the pocket and do the same to the other plate. Then slide the plates underneath each other so that a quarter pops out onto the other plate. After doing this a few times, it will give the illusion that the quarters are multiplying in the plate.

What Parents Are Saying About Magic Kids… _____________________________________________
“My 8-year son and I played with the alphabet app, and the part that we enjoyed the most was being able to point the app at different objects in our house and have the app identify it. Seemed a little bit magical to both my son and I.”
“My son really enjoyed the app. As a science kid he loved that it was sharing and telling him all about the solar system. We found out facts about different planets that we had no idea about. And he was just really loving the game, that’s great. It allowed him to feel immersed into this super science technical space right from home, right from our living room!”
“Hi I’m Leandra, I work with teachers every day….One of the biggest complaints that they have about the different learning resources available to students is the lack of focus on student engagement…Magic Kids help kids learn in this really hands-on way where they can move around and access topics like space and dinosaurs and learn in a way where the environment actually responds to them!”
“What Magic Kids is making with these augmented reality lessons, it really has student engagement and student participation at its core in a way that a lot of other tech products don’t. ”

I have been using
I have been using the application for 4 months and ready to write a review. I was surprised that there were so few comments, because the game is noteworthy. Captivating characters and high-level graphics. My child asks for a phone every day and we play together, but no more than an hour a day.
so good
The teachers at our school advised the Magic Kids app. My son is calm and doesn’t really like to communicate with other children, but in the Magic Kids app we found characters that make my child happy every day! Thank you!
It Doesn’t Work
I downloaded the free trial for my daughter and it doesn’t work. It freezes on her iPad. I restarted the game, deleted and reinstalled it and still it doesn’t work. Can’t find how to get support.

A child is a great treasure, and the child’s well-being is by far the most important thing for a loving parent. However, life itself is not always free from dangers and anxieties. If you feel that your child has little protection, he easily gets into trouble, someone mocks him, or you just want to protect him from danger, then this ritual will help you with this.
When to do this ritual?
The Full Moon Ritual is always one of the most powerful, so it’s best to do this magic during Full Moon. Approximately every 28 days there is a new Full Moon. You can do the Full Moon Ritual 3 days in a row, i.e. you can choose the date that suits you. Full Moon rituals can be performed the day before, exactly on the day and after the Full Moon. In the moon calendar you can find the exact dates.
Perform this ritual when you feel you want to protect your child and create a strong shield for him. If you have several children, you can perform the ritual on several children at once. Magic can be repeated over time. Do this if you feel that your child’s Aura has weakened.
Where to perform this ritual?
Perform the ritual in a place that suits you and that you have chosen. The total duration of the magic is about 30 minutes. If you perform the ritual on several children at once, you can count on more time.
MAGIC RECIPE:
1. Sage and Lavender ritual plant torch (or alternatively, Sage and Lavender incense ) 2. Incense of Commitment 3. Lemurian Jadeite (1 crystal per child). 4. Black bag (1 bag per child). 5. Photograph of a child on paper (as new as possible) 6. Matches 7. White candle 8. Refractory base (for candles). 9. Incense holder (for incense).
Send Magic0007
1. Light a white candle in front of you, and place the blessing Commitment to smoke on the incense holder. This incense helps to send prayers and wishes to the Aura field of another person. This is a very important incense for the ritual.
2. If you set incense to smoke, take a photo of your child / children in your hands.
3. Place Lemurian jadeite on the photo. If there are several children, place one crystal on each photo. Lemurian Jadeite is a crystal that helps increase protection in the Aura field, remove misfortune and protect against evil. This is a great crystal for this magic.
4. After the crystals are placed on the photo, take the ritual torch and set it to smoke from the candle flame (if the smoke stops, light the torch again from time to time). Clear the photo with the ritual torch, which means move with the ritual torch over the photo, making circular motions with your hand. At the same time, want your child to be cared for and protected. Then put the torch aside.
5. Now put left hand on the photo so that crystal and photo are at hand. Close your eyes, focus on your child and wish that he or she is protected and taken care of. You can also ask for help and safety on a specific topic, such as protection from someone who hurts. If you are doing the ritual for several children at once, repeat it from the second photo.
6. When you have finished sending wishes, light the ritual torch again. Circle the photo and focus on the child being cared for and protected. When you’re done, put the torch aside and move on to finishing the magic.
7. Now leave the photo and the crystal in place until the incense is completely gone. When it stops smoking, fold the photo and place it with the crystal in the black bag . To complete the ritual, light the torch again and make circles around this bag. Then the magic is confirmed.
8. Keep the magic bag in a hidden place in the children’s room. It should not be visible to the eyes where it can be seen by family members. Keep this bag there while the protection is working. It can work for months and years. If at any point you feel like you want to do some magic for your child again, do it with a new photo and a crystal. You can take crystals and a photo from an old magic bag and take these crystals to the forest.
9. If your child lives far away from you, for example, you want to perform magic on an adult child, you can leave the ritual bag at home.
Children are the most precious treasure that must be protected and protected with all your might !

Foreword
Many years ago, a young mother came into my office. Her name was Sarah, and she raised three children alone. At that time she was thirty-three years old. When Sarah sat down and I had a chance to look at her, I thought: this woman looks like she was just run over by a truck.
When I asked Sarah what brought her to me, she replied:
– Dr. Phelan, I don’t feel like getting out of bed in the morning. This is terrible. I just lie there with my head covered and cowering in fear.
– Why don’t you want to get up?
– The thought of having to wake up my three children and get them ready for school horrifies me. It’s just a nightmare! They reject any negotiations, fight, pretend not to see me. I scream and scream and grumble. And all this makes me so upset that the whole day goes down the drain. I can’t concentrate on work and I’m constantly depressed. And the next morning it starts all over again.
I asked Sarah a series of questions and briefly got to know her life story. Then he asked if she wanted to try 1-2-3 Magic.
– I’ll do anything! Sara exclaimed.
And I taught her 1-2-3 Magic.
Sarah returned home and began to talk to the children in a new way. They giggled and looked at her like she was crazy.
But within a few weeks, Sarah’s three children believed her. She used counting when there was rivalry and disrespect between siblings. Used tactics start behaviors so that children pack their things, do their homework and, most importantly, get up in the morning and leave the house for school. Sarah also learned to listen kindly and communicate with each of the children one on one – to strengthen relationships.
Sarah was a tenacious tin soldier. She made a revolution in her house, and we met less and less, because she no longer needed my help in such a volume.
Sometime in early January, Sarah came to see me for the last time. Now she didn’t look like she’d been run over by a garbage truck. Sarah sat down in a chair and I asked her how she was doing.
– Excellent! Really great.
“Sounds inspiring,” I remarked. “Although you have just spent two weeks of Christmas holidays with your children.
– Yes, and everything was fine. I have come a long way. She hesitated. – Do you know what? I didn’t realize how much things had changed until the kids got back to school after the holidays.
– What do you mean?
Sarah was silent again, tears glistening in her eyes.
– I miss them, for the first time in my life.
How can Magic 1-2-3 help you?
If you are raising young children, the 1-2-3 Magic Program could be your ticket to a brighter future as successful parents. Why am I so sure of this? Judge for yourself!
1. More than 1.6 million copies of this book have been sold.
2. 1-2-3 Magic has been translated into twenty-two languages.
3. For the past few years, 1-2-3 Magic has consistently ranked at the top of the parenting and discipline books list on amazon.com.
4. This program is adapted for fathers.
5. It is evidence-based, which means it works.
For Best Results
1-2-3 Magic provides simple, easy-to-understand methods for correcting the behavior of children approximately two to twelve years of age. These methods are suitable for all children – both normal and developmentally delayed. You can use “Magic for 1-2-3” from the age of eighteen months, if the child develops without deviations.
For best results, remember a few things.
1. All methods should be used exactly as described here. This is especially important for rule “No Talk, No Emotion” .
2. When both mom and dad live with their children, ideally both adults should participate in the program. But if one of the parents refuses “Magic for 1-2-3”, the second one can still use it independently (provided, of course, that the partner treats the children reasonably).
3. Single parents who live apart can also use this method effectively. It is preferable that both parents use the program, but this is not always possible. In fact, single moms and dads benefit greatly from a system as simple and effective as 1-2-3 Magic. Raising kids alone can be stressful, but it doesn’t take long to implement a discipline program.
4. Grandparents, nannies and other people who are raising young children have also found the 1-2-3 Magic program very helpful. There were times when grandparents discovered “Magic for 1-2-3” for themselves and told their children about it. In addition, lately I have been hearing more and more often that grandparents are raising their grandchildren themselves and consider the “Magic for 1-2-3” program to be a lifesaver.
5. Make sure your children are physically healthy. After all, diseases, allergies and physical pain exacerbate the problems of children – both in the emotional sphere and in behavior. It is extremely important to regularly examine the child with a doctor. It is also important to know and follow the natural daily routine of the child, which relates to meals, hygiene procedures and sleep patterns. A child who has not had enough sleep, or is hungry, or wants to go to the toilet, can create serious problems for parents.
Need for Professional Advice
Parents sometimes ask when they should consult with a mental health professional when using the 1-2-3 Magic Program.
It is recommended to undergo a psychological evaluation and seek specialist advice before using 1-2-3 Magic if the child has a history of physical abuse, or severe self-harm, or extreme separation anxiety. It can be difficult to deal with such children in the initial period, when they are just getting used to the new rules of discipline.
If your family is already working with a psychologist , discuss the use of “Magic for 1-2-3” with him in advance. If the psychologist is not familiar with this program, share the book with him.
It is recommended to sign up for a psychological examination and consultation with a specialist after the use of “Magic for 1-2-3”, in the following cases:
1. If unstable relations between spouses or conflicts prevent effective application of the method. 1-2-3 Magic is usually good at helping mom and dad get on the same side in parenting. Sometimes just a few consultations will help find the right course.
2. If one or both parents are unable to comply with the No Talk, No Emotion rule (see Chapter 4). Stress, anxiety and depression sometimes do not allow parents to calm down enough to effectively use “Magic for 1-2-3”. If parents use alcohol and drugs, they can behave aggressively, and all parenting methods will be ineffective.
3. If a child behaves very badly even after three weeks after the start of the program, manipulates and “tests” the parents. If you had a hard time dealing with a small child before using 1-2-3 Magic, now it’s better, but there are still many problems.
4. Trust your instincts. Here’s a great rule of thumb: if you have a specific problem with your child and it’s been going on for more than six months that’s too long. Talk to a mental health professional or pediatrician to find out what’s wrong. If there really is a problem, try to fix it or learn how to deal with it. If everything is in order, stop worrying.
In young children, psychological and behavioral problems often manifest as:
• find it difficult to concentrate and sit still;
• they lag behind in the development of speech, avoid interaction and communication, their interests are limited;
• they behave in an unacceptable, hostile or defiant manner;
• they have excessive anxiety or severe separation anxiety;
• lost interest in entertainment and became irritable;
• children show physical or verbal aggression;
• they cannot or refuse to comply with the rules and regulations appropriate for their age;
• They have unexpected learning problems.
Introduction
Parenting: long hours, no pay, excellent profits
– Can I have a cookie?
– No, dear.
– Why?
– Because we will have supper in fifteen minutes.
– Yes, but I want cookies.
– I just said no.
You never give me anything.
– Really? What do you mean? Are you not wearing any clothes? Don’t you have a roof over your head? Am I not going to feed you soon?
– You gave Joey a cookie half an hour ago.
– Look, are you Joey? Also, he eats dinner.
– I promise I’ll eat dinner.
– I don’t need these promises, empty promises, Monika! Yesterday – at half past four – you ate half a sandwich with butter and jam, and then did not have dinner at all!
– THEN I WILL KILL MYSELF AND WILL RUN OUT OF HOME!
Meet the 1-2-3 Magic
Raising children is one of the most important things in the world, and it can be the most joyful activity in life, incomparable with other areas. Young children are charming, cute, gentle, curious, funny and full of energy. For many adults, raising children is extremely beneficial.
Still, being a mother or father can be incredibly frustrating. When the cookie scene is repeated for the thousandth time, it’s hard not to despair. And then often swearing and spanking are used. This is a bad way of survival for everyone – both for children and adults.
The How to Raise Me guide is not included with a newborn baby. That is why there is a program “Magic for 1-2-3”! The program is already used by millions of parents around the world, including singles and divorcees, as well as teachers, grandparents, kindergarten and summer camp teachers, nannies, nurses in hospitals and other people who are somehow connected with raising children. And they all have one goal – to raise a happy and healthy child.
1-2-3 Magic is taught and recommended by thousands of mental health professionals and pediatricians. It’s talked about at parent-teacher conferences (sometimes parents recommend 1-2-3 Magic for Teachers to teachers, and other times teachers introduce 1-2-3 Magic to parents!).
Why such interest? As one mom said, “1-2-3 Magic is easy to learn and I got results. I enjoy being with children again and have become the mother I always wanted to be.” More than twenty-five years have passed since the launch of this program, and today we hear from parents: “My children were good children and they grew up to be wonderful adults. It’s a joy to be with them.”
With 1-2-3 Magic, children become adults capable of self-discipline, aware, happy and getting along with others. 1-2-3 Magic helps you grow an emotionally competent person who knows how to manage his own feelings, and also understands and respects the feelings of others.
The method described in the book is easy to apply and you can start immediately . You will need three to four hours to study it. Anyone can use 1-2-3 Magic: all you need is intent and interest!
Take action!
When you have finished reading about the 1-2-3 Magic program, start implementing it right away. Talk to your spouse if you live together and take action. If you don’t start immediately, you may never start.
By studying Magic 1-2-3, you will know exactly what to do and what not to do, what to say and what not to say – in all the everyday problem situations that arise when raising children. Because 1-2-3 Magic is based on a few but very important principles, you will be able to do what needs to be done even when anxious, agitated or upset (which happens to many parents every day!). You will be a kind but effective caregiver, even when busy, in a hurry, or preoccupied with other issues.
What to expect in the beginning
Once you start using “Magic for 1-2-3”, your relationship with your children will quickly change. But I have two news for you – good and bad. Good: about half of the children immediately begin to cooperate. You implement the 1-2-3 Magic methods and the kids immediately support you – sometimes just in a “magical” way. What should you do? Just relax and enjoy your luck!
But here’s the bad news: the other half of the children immediately start a confrontation.

American businesses are losing billions each year because workers don’t have enough access to child care, officials said at the Dallas Regional Chamber’s third annual State of Early Education address Thursday.
Access to high-quality early childhood education is important because it directly impacts business communities, parents and kids, said Dale Petroskey, president and CEO of the chamber.
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker, who was the event’s keynote speaker, stressed that adequate and affordable child care is important for communities so businesses and the economy can thrive. And early childhood education is key to helping kids be successful later in life, she added.
But not everyone can afford high-quality preschool or child care or has it nearby. And that leads to businesses nationwide losing about $13 billion annually in costs due to the lack of child care.
Parker shared her own experiences, noting that her daughter’s college tuition at Texas Tech University was less expensive than the tuition at the Montessori school her 4-year-old was attending.
“This is an incredibly debilitating cost for American families, and unfortunately, it’s not getting much better,” Parker said.
While businesses suffer, kids do too.
Research shows that about 90% of brain development occurs by age 5 and that getting high-quality education early is more effective than any other intervention by schools or society later in a child’s life.
What businesses can do to help
Private sector businesses can implement family-friendly policies, Parker said.
The chamber recognized 109 companies in the Dallas region that have implemented family-friendly benefits and policies. (The Dallas Regional Chamber is a supporter of the Education Lab at The Dallas Morning News.)
Such policies that companies can implement to help parents include on-site child care, flexible hours, working remotely and maternity leave. Chamber officials noted that research suggests 35% of Texas workers who have or plan to quit their job cite child care issues as a primary reason.
“We need great child care where our kids can be stimulated, so that parents can go off to work, feeling peace of mind that their kids are getting a good day’s worth of care and education at the same time,” Petroskey said.
Why invest in early education?
Making the Dallas region the best place for people to live, work and do business all starts with delivering a quality education to ensure a strong workforce, Petroskey said.
“We need talented workers who are well educated and trained so they can do the jobs that need to be done here so we can keep growing,” he said. “On the other hand, every person deserves a chance for a good education, a good job and a good life.”
For every dollar invested in early education, the return on investment is between $7 and $12, Parker noted.
Parker added that the United States spends about $500 per child to educate kids under 5. But $14,000 is spent per student in kindergarten through high school. In contrast, Norway spends about $30,000 per child to educate those under 5 while Germany spends about $20,000, she said.
“So frankly, our investments just don’t make sense,” Parker said.
High-quality early childhood education goes beyond day care to include learning opportunities, which means investing in quality instructors as well, she said.
“Usually the women that serve in our child care facilities — that are taking care of your babies and my babies — that are high-quality child care educators make less than a cashier at Buc-ee’s in this country,” she said. “We can do better than that.”
Change in the Dallas area
While the private sector must do its part, local governments can help too, Parker said.
For example, in May, Tarrant County commissioners approved $45 million in federal funds to support child care and make long-term investments in early childhood education across the community.
“This can be transformative and will be transformative in Tarrant County,” Parker said.
Fort Worth, Arlington and Tarrant County leaders had previously funneled $2 million of that federal pandemic aid to boost child care educator pay.
These efforts coincide with others to invest in holistic approaches to expand access to child care.
“The future of the American dream and our success hinges on how we treat our youngest and most vulnerable,” Parker said.
The DMN Education Lab deepens the coverage and conversation about urgent education issues critical to the future of North Texas.
The DMN Education Lab is a community-funded journalism initiative, with support from The Beck Group, Bobby and Lottye Lyle, Communities Foundation of Texas, The Dallas Foundation, Dallas Regional Chamber, Deedie Rose, Garrett and Cecilia Boone, The Meadows Foundation, Solutions Journalism Network, Southern Methodist University, Todd A. Williams Family Foundation and the University of Texas at Dallas. The Dallas Morning News retains full editorial control of the Education Lab’s journalism.

In northeast Texas, on the banks of the Trinity River, lies the charming city of Fort Worth. It is one of the largest cities in the US. But, despite its size, Fort Worth is a cozy and quiet city that sacredly honors its traditions and customs. Numerous cowboy ranches, old cobbled boulevards, picturesque parks, annually attract crowds of tourists from all over the world. Fort Worth delights with its unique original culture.
The geography of the city and its environs is very extensive – the eastern part is covered by mighty mixed forests, to the west stretched hilly plains and endless prairies. The climate is subtropical – it is quite hot in summer, there is a lot of precipitation, winter is mild, warm and snowy.
History of the city
In 1840 a defensive fortress was built on the territory of the modern city. It served as a reliable defense against constant Indian raids. Gradually, more and more civilian settlements began to appear around the fortress. But, despite this, for a long time the main function of the fortress was defense. Only after the end of the Civil War, the life of the city entered a peaceful course. Agriculture was widely developed, mainly cattle breeding. Most of the city’s population was engaged in driving cattle.
In 1876, a large railroad was built through the Fort Worth area. It served as a powerful impetus for the development of trade and industry. The export of livestock to other regions of the country has sharply increased. Gradually, the decision came that it was much more profitable to supply finished goods, so the first slaughterhouses were built in the city. The agricultural industry of the city has entered a new stage of its development. Soon an oil field was found in Texas. And in Fort Worth, the first oil refineries appeared. Emigrants from all over the country poured in here in search of new jobs. The city continued to grow and prosper.
During World War II, Fort Worth hosted several military bases and training grounds. The city has become a major aviation center. In the post-war period, he greatly changed. But, the culture, traditions and customs of the old West remained unchanged. Today, about five million tourists from all over the world come to Fort Worth annually. And this is an important factor for its further prosperity and development.
Fort Worth Attractions
Cowboy Quarter Stockyards
The city’s main attraction is the charming Stockyards. Walking along its narrow winding streets, tourists are transported to the era of the Wild West. Cowboy saloons, old hotels, a huge farmers’ market – as if they had stepped out of the pages of American novels. Several cowboy houses still remain on the territory of the quarter. Tourists are given the opportunity to live in such a house, learn horseback riding, and also witness how brave, desperate guys, with a flick of the wrist, tame huge angry bulls.
Numerous festivals and shows are held on the territory of the quarter every year. The most striking of them is the Pawnee Bill Show. Its entertainment program includes taming bulls with the help of a lasso, shooting competitions, horse riding, and old cowboy songs. Incredible interest is caused by horse racing without a saddle. Such an extreme show will appeal to thrill-seekers. And from a dangerous rodeo on bulls, they will be completely delighted. Interestingly, not only men, but also women take part in such competitions. They have their own show called Barrel Racing.
Sundance Square
In the heart of Fort Worth, an atmosphere of carefree fun and celebration reigns. Here lies the huge Sundance Square. On its territory there is a huge number of luxurious restaurants, cozy cafes, luxury boutiques, souvenir stalls, nightclubs and wonderful hotels. Every year, a lot of various festive events and festivals are held here.
City Botanical Garden
Nature and beauty lovers must visit the Fort Worth Botanical Garden. Fragrant irises, chrysanthemums, lilies and daffodils invite visitors to the Aroma Garden. Here, among low shady trees, there are picturesque ponds with magnolias. Nearby is a large shining fountain. A delightful spectacle opens up before the visitors of the “Japanese Garden”. Tourists have the opportunity to admire cherry blossoms, small sparkling waterfalls, ancient bridges and pavilions. There is also a small cozy tea room. Everyone can relax in its coolness and enjoy a fragrant tea drink. In addition, the Conservatory operates on the territory of the garden. Within its walls, daily displays of unique varieties of orchids and trees are held.
Kimbrell Museum
Fans of art and architecture should visit the Kimbrell Museum. The museum building itself is a magnificent architectural creation. Its walls contain unique works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Matisse, Picasso, Caravaggio, Turner, Velasquez and Cezanne. Every 4 years, in the concert hall of the museum, the World Piano Competition is held.
Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art deserves no less attention. The museum building is a powerful concrete structure placed in fragile glass boxes. A large swimming pool was created at the entrance to the museum. An indescribable spectacle opens up – the unusual structure of the building is reflected in the clear waters of the pool. In turn, in the glass walls of the building you can see the reflection of the sparkling pool. Inside the building there is a wonderful art gallery and a unique art history museum.
Travel Guide
Fort Worth can be reached by rail using the Trinity Express. A huge railroad runs through all the major cities of Texas. There is a large international airport in the vicinity of the city. Every day it receives thousands of flights from all over the world. You can also get to the city by bus, taking the Avtamak route.

Fort Worth, Texas – LiveJournal of the US Embassy in Moscow
Susan Freeman it’s worth going there. I have been going there every year in December since I was a child. There are three main things that attract me to this city: the art museums, the annual Fort Worth Cattle Show, and of course, the local cuisine. The city has three major art museums: the Fort Worth Museum of Contemporary Art, the Kimbell Art Museum, and the Emon Carter Museum of American Art.
The Kimbell Art Museum has a finely curated permanent collection and always features special works on display. My favorite is The Torment of Saint Anthony, an early painting by Michelangelo, painted by him as a teenager. This work has always amazed my imagination with the young artist’s creative approach to depicting how various demons torment St. Anthony. The Kimbell Museum is distinguished by the rich variety and exceptional talent of the works presented in its collection. The museum exhibits works by such Renaissance artists as Michelangelo and Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini, paintings and graphics by such impressionists as Edgar Degas and paintings by modernists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. There are also several halls of ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Chinese art. The Kimbell Museum is one of my favorite places in Fort Worth and, believe it or not, admission to the permanent exhibition rooms is free.
Another one of my favorite paintings is in the city’s Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. This is Andy Warhol’s Self Portrait. The museum also exhibits his Twenty Five Colored Marilyns and Gun. Warhol is a true representative of American consumerism culture. His “Self-Portrait” is less typical of his work on its subject and brings him closer to the classical artistic tradition of portraiture.
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art covers several periods of American art within a single space. There, the works of Charles M. Russell and Federic Remington are presented in the art of the Wild West and paintings by Georgia O’Keeffe or photographs of the Brooklyn Bridge are also exhibited there.12 years old It is always interesting for me to return to the Emon Carter Museum, because the variety of art in my home country tells a lot about both the culture and its history.

Those who want to attend an event that is nowhere else but Texas should go to Fort Worth livestock exhibition and rodeo (The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo). The exhibit showcases livestock, agricultural products, handicrafts, and entertainment acts from all over the state. When I first went to this exhibition in 2009year, I was shocked. I have never seen so many cows in one place, especially such well-groomed cows from all over Texas that were raised by teenagers. I liked the rodeo because the tricks the riders did made the show feel like a little circus. The art market sells both traditional Old West style items and modern handmade pottery. This exhibition is the perfect mix of Texas from the Wild West and modern Texas under the same roof of a gigantic building with enough stuff to last a whole week.
While I’ve said that my favorite place in Fort Worth is the Kimbell Museum, I have to admit that what attracts me most to the city is the food – BBQ and Tex-Mex. My favorite restaurant is Joe T Garcia located in downtown Fort Worth. It is impossible to book a table in advance and there is always a queue winding down the street to its doors. Any company has an alternative: either dinner with enchiladas (Mexican corn tortilla stuffed with cheese, beef or chicken in a spicy tomato and chili sauce) or with fajitas (fried meat with spices). Nachos (corn chips) topped with cheese and pieces of jalapenos (a type of chili pepper) are always served first. Dinner with enchiladas begins with two of these sizzling cheese-filled tortillas, followed by two crispy tortillas (tortillas) with beef, rice, beans and homemade tortillas. All the dishes are very beautiful and very spicy, just like a Tex-Mex should be. My other favorite restaurant is called Angelos BBQ and my family loves it. It looks like a large wooden warehouse, and inside it is decorated with stuffed hunting trophies. At the entrance you will be met by a stuffed bear in the branded T-shirt of this restaurant, a portion of beer and Christmas tree lanterns around him. This restaurant is always decorated with a bit of humor.
All in all, a trip to Fort Worth will be an enjoyable experience, but these are just a few of the things you can enjoy. And it’s great that the city is constantly growing and developing. It has recently begun a major investment in urbanization and the growth of its business and cultural center, resulting in a much livelier and more popular nightlife in the city. I recommend you go to Fort Worth. The main thing is to be open to the perception of its culture and come on an empty stomach.
Fort Worth

Fort Worth, Texas is a great place to travel to and a less frequently traveled to part of the United States. I have gone to Fort Worth every December since I was born. For me, the city has three major attractions, the art museums, the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and, of course, the food. There are three major art museums in Fort Worth, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Kimbell Art Museum and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art.
The Kimbell Art Museum has a brilliantly curated permanent collection and always has inspired special exhibits. My personal favorite is the “Torment of Saint Anthony,” an early piece by Michelangelo which he painted in his adolescence. The painting has always captured my imagination because of the creativity of the young artist shown in the variety of ways he portrayed the demons tormenting St. Anthony. The Kimbell is very special because of the diversity and extreme talent represented in its collection. The museum is also home to masterpieces by renaissance artists like Michelangelo and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, paintings and sketches by impressionist painters like Edgar Degas, and paintings by Modernists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. In addition, there are also several galleries of ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Chinese art. The Kimbell is one of my favorite places in Fort Worth and, unbelievably, entrance into the permanent collection is free.
My clear favorite at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is “Self-Portrait” by Andy Warhol. The museum also has “Twenty Five Colored Marilyns” and “Gun” by Andy Warhol. Warhol is a representative of American consumerist culture. His “Self Portrait” is more rare because it is just a little bit different than his typical themes and places him closer to the classical artistic tradition of portraiture.
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art celebrates multiple eras of American art in one space, like the art of the Wild West by Charles M. Russell and Federic Remington or works of art by Georgia O’Keeffe, or photographs of the Brooklyn Bridge from 1912. I am always interested to go back to the Amon Carter because its diversity in art from my own country is simultaneously cultural and historical.
Those looking for a uniquely Texan experience should visit The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. The event features livestock, produce, handicrafts, and entertainment from all over the state. When I first went to the Stock Show in 2009, I was shocked. I had never seen so many cows in one place, especially such well-groomed cows which were raised by teenagers from all over Texas. I loved watching the horse shows because the tricks were like a small circus. The art market has more traditional Old West kinds of art, but also modern handmade pottery. The Stock Show is the perfect mixture of Wild West Texas and Modern Texas all in the same huge building with enough activities to do for a week.
Although I said the Kimbell was my favorite attraction in Fort Worth, I really have to say the best part of Fort Worth is the food, the BBQ, and the Tex-Mex. My favorite restaurant is Joe T Garcia in downtown Fort Worth. The restaurant does not take reservations and there is always a line out the door winding down the street. Groups have two choices: the enchilada dinner or the fajita. The meal always starts off with plates of nachos made with big round corn chips loaded with cheese and jalapenos. The enchilada dinner comes with two steaming hot cheese enchiladas, two crispy beef tacos, rice, beans, and homemade tortillas. All of the food is flavorful and spicy and exactly what Tex-Mex should be. My other favorite restaurant is a family favorite, called Angelos BBQ. The restaurant looks like a big wooden warehouse and on the inside it is covered in dead stuffed game. In the entry way there is a stuffed bear with an Angelos T-Shirt, a beer, and Christmas lights draped around it. The restaurant always puts a little humor into its decor.
Overall, Fort Worth is fun trip and these are just a few the attractions. One of the best things about the city is that it is constantly growing and developing. Recently the city has started to invest a lot in the urbanization and growth of its downtown area and as a result the nightlife has become much more exciting and prevalent. I recommend a trip to Fort Worth. Make sure to bring an open mind ready to take in the culture, and an empty stomach.

Dallas and its twin city Fort Worth (Fort Worth, 48 km from Dallas) are closely connected by history and geography, but if “Big D” is skyscrapers and business districts, then Fort Worth is provincial cityscapes, old cobblestone boulevards and stockyards.
The city is literally saturated with the atmosphere of the “Old West” and is proud of its nickname Cowtown (“city of cows”), but livestock and everything related to it are far from its only attractions (suffice it to say that today there is an important center oil industry). Many events take place every year at Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth, a vibrant entertainment district with great hotels, shops, restaurants, music clubs, theater and exciting nightlife.
The historic stockyards are still in operation, and herds of cattle are driven down Exchange Avenue every year, more like a theatrical performance than a banal pasture for meat. There is also a museum with an extensive collection of photographs and memorabilia from the heyday of the “ranching era”, there is even a Heritage Park, excellent stables (what is a cowboy without a horse?), a zoological park and a Japanese garden.

Sergei Baimukhametov
Finance Minister Kudrin refuted President Putin – publicly, at a meeting of the Federation Council. But no one noticed. Because I didn’t match. They talk so much, bombard us with so many numbers that it’s impossible to keep track. They cannot keep track of themselves, and therefore there are such blatant embarrassments. We can say – ideological sabotage. I believe that this comparison will give us an answer to the question: why is the majority of the population dissatisfied with the standard of living? According to an August poll of sociologists (even before the sharp increase in food prices!) every fifth family said that they were not living, but were surviving. Moreover, the number of such people increased by 5 percent compared to 2006. This means that about 8 million low-income citizens have moved into another category – the poor. And according to Rosstat, the average income of citizens in real terms (that is, adjusted for inflation!) And the average real wage increased from July 2006 to July 2007 by 15 percent. How to explain such a contradiction? “Incomes are growing, that’s a fact,” says Natalya Tikhonova, head of the department at the Higher School of Economics, Doctor of Sociology. But life doesn’t get any easier. It comes to consciousness that the model of society that has developed … there is no place for an ordinary person in it … It turns out a paradox: everything seems to be improving, but people are growing dissatisfied … There is a growing feeling that they are social outsiders, a dull, non-personalized protest appears … The depth of poverty has sharply increased. People have appeared who live in such poverty as the Soviet Union never dreamed of: property is falling into disrepair, household appliances are becoming unusable, people’s health is beginning to deteriorate – and this is an additional expense item. A vicious circle begins… People lose their usual social contacts. At first they are helped out of pity. Then they begin to annoy and irritate, they shy away from them, as if they were contagious, marginalization begins … The respondents themselves to the question “what is poverty?” often answered: “Poverty is the loss of tomorrow.” Although, it would seem, they should say that poverty is when a child has nothing to buy shoes to go to school, or when there is no way to fix a broken TV. We have studied this environment in detail. Many focused on the psychological state: “Poverty is when your hands have already dropped”, “Poverty is when your eyes are dull and you don’t believe in anything …” According to the State Statistics Committee, there are about 30 million such people. Nevertheless, Natalya Tikhonova began by saying that “incomes are growing”. But if we compare the recent speech of the President of the country with the speech of the Minister of Finance, a startling discrepancy is revealed. On a direct line with the population of the country, the president said: “Last year, the average wage growth was 13.4 percent, and this year – 14.4 percent.” And here are the figures of Minister Kudrin: “The increase in prices for milk and dairy products since the beginning of the year amounted to 25 percent, for butter – 29.2 percent, cheese – 42 percent, flour – 31 percent, bread – 21.1 percent, sunflower oil – 43 percent, eggs – 18.2 percent. If we compare it with salaries, it turns out that there is no increase in welfare. But quite the opposite. And social psychology has nothing to do with it. We have a real impoverishment of the people, the depreciation of the ruble. Despite the fact that all around they are talking about the growing welfare of the working people. And even a prominent specialist, Natalya Tikhonova, was captured by propaganda. The article “Mighty Minds” (“RB” No. 44) described how Chubais argued that the growth of tariffs and prices did not affect inflation. (?) And Kudrin agreed with him, after some hesitation. Now, after the sharp rise in food prices in October, he has changed his mind. And he talked about high inflation due to rising prices. So, it took him TEN YEARS of work as Deputy Minister and then Minister of Finance of Russia to realize such an economic truth. By the way, just two weeks ago all responsible ministers blamed the reptile dealers and the international market for the rise in food prices. And today they started talking about the fact that the reason is the lack of their own effective agricultural production. Wow! For 15 years, the most authoritative people, such as Gennady Lisichkin, a well-known publicist and economist from ancient Soviet times, have been shouting that the ruin of the village is the main misfortune and danger for the new, democratic Russia. That without their bread-milk-meat, no reforms will lead to anything but collapse. But finally, the government began to guess. And the last detail on the topic of the day. The government began grain intervention. In other words, grain from state stocks went to the market. The press writes: “The head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Alexei Gordeev, has declared a psychological war on the rise in food prices.” Only it should have been done six months ago. When Gordeev himself suddenly (who pulled his tongue!) announced an impending crop failure and thus provoked panic and an increase in grain prices. (His forecast did not come true, and the prices of food went up.) It was then that state grain intervention would have helped. And now, well … the old prices cannot be returned. There are two options: either they do it on purpose – they work for food suppliers and other monopolists, allow them to brazenly profit at the expense of the people, or they simply do not know anything and do not understand their business. I will refer to the voice of the people. On the engineer Vladimir Pavlyuk from the Krasnodar Territory. Unfortunately, his letter was published only in the newspaper Life of a Citizen of Russia, which is not sold in newsstands, and there is no subscription to it either. Many such publications are distributed in the halls of the State Duma and the Federation Council. “Let me write directly what has been on everyone’s mind for a long time. There are a lot of stupid people among the big officials… For example, a group of people pass a law that is completely stupid. From all sides one can only hear: “What is this happening, such an absurdity must not be allowed!” And they still do it in front of everyone. But then from above it is heard: “Cancel and redo!” And the same group of people of high rank with joyful faces hit their foreheads and are amazed: “What nonsense!” And cheerfully begins to work in a different direction. But will there be any sense? After all, stupid people got down to business! … A good solution to the problem would be the introduction of independent IQ expertise for applicants for public office. How much longer can one endure leading and guiding idiots?” – finishes the letter engineer Vladimir Pavlyuk from the Krasnodar Territory. Strictly said, rude. But with pure faith that the fault is just stupidity. However, the first option is not excluded. Moscow
Explosion in Düsseldorf: Russian filmmaking on German soil
Culture and lifestyle
The Russian theatrical tradition continues to excite Germany. Düsseldorf Drama Theater opened the season with Kafka’s “Trial” in a surreal production by Andrey the Mighty.
Bailiffs ride their bikes through the sky. A young nurse with inviting forms turns into a black swan and dances with Satan between the birches. Three-meter baby plays the piano. The lawyer sits on the chimney, dangling his legs and chuckling. All this becomes possible when a director from Russia arrives in a small German city to stage Kafka.
Andrey Moguchiy staged “The Trial” at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus Drama Theater, and attracted the best minds, hands, eyes and ears of modern Russian stage art to work.

Maria Tregubova, a talented student of Dmitry Krymov, became the production designer, turning the Düsseldorf stage into a surreal dream, which, unfortunately, German theater critics were only partially able to understand, as evidenced by some articles that appeared immediately after the premiere.
Strange all the same: why did the critics even try to understand anything, initially knowing that we are talking about Kafka’s “Process” (Franz Kafka)? Or have they forgotten that such a novel actually never happened? Or did they expect something pensive and heartfelt from Mighty, so that later at home they would say with a breath: “Oh, it was like Chekhov’s in The Three Sisters? Or maybe the critics didn’t have enough calls to save Pussy Riot in the performance, which it is fashionable now to recite from stages large and small, as soon as the Russian aspect looms on the horizon?
A Brief Presentation of Kafka
The Mighty One did not follow the lead of time, but followed the lead of Kafka. This is why the newborn masterpiece is valuable: there is no need for posters and screams, everything is decided in a single head, free to think and understand what is happening to the best of its own intelligence.
Waking up on the day of his thirtieth birthday, Josef K. immediately noticed: something was wrong … Strangers in black suits and white gloves ran around his life – a sort of special subspecies of undertakers, eager to bury not posthumously, but alive. Unfamiliar voluptuous women desired him. The clouds turned over on the wrong side, and in general the whole world parted for some reason in different directions, taking away in pieces what had recently been considered the norm. The hero plunged into absurdity, as if into a viscous porridge with full-fat milk. The reality, cleared of logic, sucked him completely.

A case has been filed against the bank clerk Josef K. in court. But not a single person is able to explain to the procurist when and what he was guilty of: “Who are these people? What are they talking about? What department are they from? dare to attack him in his own dwelling?” The denouement is simple: the hero was eventually stabbed to death, stabbed in the very heart.
Mighty Company
Mighty and his team were given a simple, but at the same time difficult task: “to blow up the Düsseldorf stage” (this is how the leadership of the drama theater formulated it). With what the Russian directors coped excellently. If this were a movie, the film would be dubbed a blockbuster with amazing special effects.
This has never happened before in Düsseldorf. The possibilities of the stage were exhausted to the last spoonful! It rotated in all directions, pushing more and more spaces, allowing the scenery and actors to be placed on several levels, revolving around each other. The world of absurdity, which captured the protagonist, appeared in all its glory and in all the horror of its unreality. The viewer barely kept up with looking at the details that emerged from all sides literally every second. Each new scene could be photographed with a light heart and hung on the wall.

Outrageous style
As if the heroes of the paintings of the Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte came to life and went for a walk, giving each other red funeral roses, leaving the hall or falling into black holes. The combination of black, white and gray with rare splashes of fierce red made the eye rejoice at the stylish austerity.
The role of Josef K. Andrei Moguchiy entrusted the Finnish actor Karl Alm. And it’s great! His “inhibited” accent stubbornly contrasted with the non-existent world, demonstrating every time he opened his mouth, his difference from the abyss that suddenly swallowed up an innocent procurist. This long man with a thin beard looked like Raskolnikov, lost in the text of Kafka, trying to somehow navigate between the layers of guilt and punishment: “I am refusing the services of a lawyer!”
Deadly good: the wild dance of stage layers, costumes, props carried me into a beautiful, but terrible world of the incomprehensible. It couldn’t be. And this was not. It was as if the whole hall plunged into a mighty group dream, and then woke up and did not understand what it was, and whether it even existed …
It must be said that individual German critics still did not delve into their student memories of Kafka’s texts and let themselves be carried away. They, judging by the rave reviews, really enjoyed the THEATER in all its dizzying manifestations. It seems that the creation of Andrey Moguchiy and company will be remembered here for a long time. It turned out that the Russian theatrical tradition is capable of doing just that: just take it and turn the world upside down by throwing a red rag into cotton clouds…
In the near future, “The Trial” on the stage of the great hall of the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus can be viewed on September 21st, 22nd, 30th, as well as on October 3rd, 23rd, 24th, 25th and 27th.
“And someone laid a stone…” / Pravoslavie.Ru
Post-Jubilee reflections on one letter of Michael
Lermontov
In the year of Lermontov how not to say about Lermontov!.. But
the closer you peer into a hasty pencil
Lermontov, the more consciously you delay the pause. You are silent before
the name of the poet, awkwardly justifying it with a “crowd
material”, then the autumn cold blues. And all this
until you come to one completely
natural question: do you know anything at all about
Lermontov?
And not about the highlighted in a special paragraph
“creative way” speech. No, you’re thinking
willy-nilly, just about the letter Lermontov. About the letter
– literally. And thinking a little
spread your arms to the sides. “In heaven solemnly
and wonderful.” What mighty minds in Lermontovskaya,
example, encyclopedias leaned over this one
line, whole lives were given to his genius! And he,
who lived in the world to the bright windows of the Pyatigorsk house
(“The branches of cherry blossoms look out the windows to me, and
the wind sometimes strews my desk with white
petals”), comes up again and again in our
imagination with a smile to the foot of Mashuk. And we are in
which time! – we knock with our hearts on the hologram
of the past, in the hope of becoming closer to the poet, to learn from him
something new, still unknown – about himself, about us
and about the world.
With such resolute ignorance of Lermontov, with incessant
the thought of where, after all, the tombstone with
name “Mikhail”, I decide to approach
one Lermontov word, which is composed of one letter. AT
poem “The Beggar”, inscribed in pencil
on a piece of gray paper in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, placed
perhaps the most significant union in all Russian poetry:
He only asked for bread, And his gaze showed living flour, And someone laid a stone Into his outstretched hand.
It is known that Elizaveta Alekseevna Arsenyeva, grandmother
maternal poet, in the summer of 1830 she made
foot pilgrimage to the Trinity, in order to serve a prayer service for
tragically deceased brother. Went with her to
seventy-kilometer way and Lermontov. And heard the words
beggar, uttered from the porch of the temple. “Send you
God of happiness, good gentlemen; and here the other day…
they laughed at me: they put a full cup of pebbles.
God be with them!” Even younger students know that
the famous Lermontov line about a stone embedded in
palm waiting for help, denotes in a figurative
sense of deception of hope, disappointment.
But here’s the question: why does the poet choose the composing union
“and” instead of the opposite “but”?
The beggar is waiting for alms, hoping for human help, but an evil
someone’s will receives a mockery in the form of a stone. He waited but
not wait. He hoped and believed, but was cruelly deceived.
An outstanding artist would capture in speech construction,
most likely resistance, not connection. Yes, but not
brilliant Lermontov!
Posen L.V. (1849-1921) Beggar. 1886. State Tretyakov Gallery.
Refusing, apparently intuitively, from
obvious verbal selection, a sixteen-year-old boy
renounces the obvious outcome of thought. in saints
within the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, he relies on
heavenly providence in the language, trusting the unknown
impulse. The sinful human tongue is torn out, and the prophet
begins to appeal to people in an inhuman language,
higher, higher. Lermontov invests in only one
serving as a particle of speech colossal experience of free
spiritual insight. Maybe instant
born in a flash of invisible tears, and may well
turn out, and years – or centuries! —
sprouting like a grain in his soul and heart. More
before birth.
“And someone laid a stone …” We see
never smiling through the eyes of Pechorin behind this unearthly
by the strength of the influence of “and”; we will find out
“an empty and stupid joke” and – to goosebumps
on the skin – we feel “cold attention”
author’s point of view; we hear through pain and shame
Lermontov’s farewell to “unwashed Russia”.
Resolution of the dispute – did the great poet write or did not write
deadly truthful lines in the last year of his life,
translucent, just like X-rays, Russian
reality through and through – lies not here
also, in the only possible way for Lermontov
“and”? The usual happened. Stone instead of a soul
– common, deceit instead of truth – common,
cruelty instead of pity is commonplace. Stylistic
and the cosmic sound created in the Trinity-Sergius
Laurel masterpiece in one absolutely on a par with
octet-sentence-farewell. And it didn’t suit us
deny the sadness of our unsettled Russian
fret. It is not proper to correct Lermontov, denying him
the right to a woeful postscript. After all, for this very
homeless sadness, as one philosopher admitted, it would not be
it is a pity to give him all the prosperous happiness of the West …
Not setting up the pulpit, but humbly becoming
kneeling in front of a chair and barely keeping up with a beaded handwriting behind
voice from above (“The Beggar” was written exactly like that,
fluently), Lermontov, as if from the Sermon on the Mount
takes an inexhaustibly multidimensional image. But not all alone
sadness and disappointment are concentrated in the prophetic
Lermontov letter. How sometimes in autumn nights one guesses
behind the veil of clouds the starry sky, and behind the poetic brace
future meanings are revealed.
In the poem “The Beggar” there is, it seems to me, something
what is not there. For the time being, no. That each of us readers
does not want or cannot, does not know how to notice before the time. Not
directly stated author’s intent may not
clear to the author himself. Stronger than stone, more precious than gold. In him
there is faith. Let the deceit lie heavily in the cup of our destinies,
let the most defenseless feeling in the world – love
– ridiculed and dressed up in clownish clothes
sequins, and the one who asks still holds out his battered
vessel, believing in help – human and divine. And
the truth comes, and the strongest of all turns out to be loving
heart. The appearance of Lermontov himself, which is “lighter
azure,” affects here completely. And no longer
“with cold attention” the poet looks from his
detached and romantic far away, but with a fervor of sympathy and
complicity: “I, the Mother of God, / / Now with a prayer / / Before
In your image,//Bright radiance…”
Two centuries have passed since the birth of Mikhail Lermontov. BUT
a cracked wooden cup is still intact,
becoming more and more like a bowl of universal scales. What
win? What will outweigh?
…Yesterday I just told the students a story
“Beggar”, he also mentioned Sushkova, calling her
accidentally Alexandra. And here is one girl correcting me:
Ekaterina, her name was Ekaterina Sushkova. It turns out my
A first-year excellent student managed to visit Tarkhany. That
was my happiest ignorance in my life. And I suddenly
I thought: but in a cup something clean – without a price –
gold happens to fall…

Newspaper “Orthodox Faith” No. 22 (522)
Chapter 11. Another Light which the ear “does not take.” Maybe it’s the same with light vibrations?
Yes!
With light vibrations the situation is the same – there is ultralight and infralight, which the eye does not perceive. Only they are called a little differently – ultraviolet and infrared radiation. The sun regularly emits these rays, but we do not see them.
Those vibrations, the frequency of which exceeds the frequency of the violet color, are called ultraviolet. And those whose frequency is less than the frequency of red light are called infrared. You can also say in another way:
short-wave radiation is ultraviolet, and long-wave radiation is infrared.
That is, the rainbow in the sky actually has not seven colors, but more, we just don’t see other colors.
By the way, not all earthly creatures are as miserable as people. Bees, for example, see ultraviolet light, and snakes see infrared light.
Invisible light is located at the edges of the visible
Darkening of the skin, which we call sunburn, is caused by ultraviolet radiation. In small doses, it is very useful, because it is under the influence of ultraviolet radiation that our skin produces vitamin D. But in large doses, ultraviolet radiation is dangerous – it not only causes sunburn, but can also lead to fatal skin diseases and damage vision. Therefore, you should not get carried away especially with a tan, and in the summer it is better to wear dark glasses so that there is no retinal burn – that small screen in the eye on which the image is projected.
As you can see, ultraviolet is biologically very active. With the help of ultraviolet lamps, harmful microbes are killed, disinfecting the water in pools and the air in hospitals.
Luckily, it’s easy to protect yourself from excess ultraviolet light, it is practically impervious to ordinary window glass.
Therefore, for the production of ultraviolet lamps, it is necessary to make a special glass – quartz.
Now let’s say a couple of warm words about infrared radiation. It was not in vain that I said warm words, because infrared radiation is sometimes also called thermal radiation. We do not see it with our eyes, but if it is intense enough, we can feel it with our skin as warmth.
And what does that mean?
And the fact, my friends, is that we now know all the ways of transferring heat from one body to another! Well, remember the first part of the book. We said there that temperature and heat are just a measure of the speed of molecules. And I told how heat is transferred: more energetic, that is, faster – “hot” – molecules of a heated body drum on slower – “cold” – molecules of another body, slow them down, push them apart, giving them their energy. And gradually, gradually, the velocities of molecules in hot and cold bodies become equal. Then we say:
– Oh! Excellent! The temperature is up! The cold gets hot, the hot gets cold.
This method of heat transfer is called conduction.
Mighty minds single out into a separate category such a kind of heat transfer as mixing or, scientifically speaking, convection. Convection is when large arrays of “hot” molecules mix mechanically with large arrays of “cold” ones. The best example here is a heating battery. She stands under the window and heats the air around her. And since warm air is lighter than cold air, it rises without any balloon, and in its place to the battery from below, cold air is sucked in from the floor. Which also heats up on the battery and flies up. Thus, there is a constant mixing of air in the room. Convection speeds up the process of heat transfer in large volumes.
Convection is very simple. Conventional mixing
And now we have learned another way to transfer heat – by rays, that is, by infrared spectrum waves. Getting on some body, infrared rays heat it up, that is, they shake the molecules, giving them speed walls.
Not every modern child has seen such a thing as in this photo. Now other heaters are more in vogue. In the past, such reflectors were very popular. What is the essence of this great invention? A metal spiral made of a special alloy is wound onto a ceramic cartridge. A current is passed through it, and the spiral heats up red-hot and heats the ceramic cone. At the same time, the spiral and ceramics emit a little in the visible range (red light) and very strongly in the invisible – infrared. A round metal reflector focuses these beams, directing them in a continuous stream forward. And a person feels warm or even hot if a reflector is directed at him. Gorgeous, my children, gorgeous!
Now, having familiarized ourselves with the qualitative characteristics, it remains only for us to give the numerical values of ultra- and infra-light. By the way, the word “infralight” is never used anywhere and by anyone, it’s me, a hooligan. For some reason they always say long – “infrared radiation”. But the waves on the other side of the spectrum for some reason have their own abbreviation – “ultraviolet”. Riddles of language.
So, ultraviolet light is on the frequency scale “to the right” of violet and extends from 790 to 30,000 THz. And infrared, respectively, to the left and its values lie in values from 1 to 400 tetrahertz.
A thoughtful reader who looks two moves ahead may start scratching his head fiercely at this point in the book, thus organizing an increased blood flow to the brain to enhance mental activity, because two questions are already brewing in his head:
– And even more to the left infrared and to the right of ultraviolet are there waves?
– And what are the waves of light? Well, in the sense that it fluctuates? Sea waves are the vibrations of water. Sound – air. And here? Will the author finally answer us or not?
I answer in order.
Yes. Waves also exist to the left and to the right of infra- and ultra-light vibrations. And why shouldn’t they be? To the right of ultraviolet, frequencies rise and wavelengths fall accordingly. And to the left of the infrared, the frequencies fall, and the wavelengths grow.
And what is to the right of ultraviolet with a frequency higher than ultraviolet?
And there, my dears, are the X-rays we already know. It turns out that they are the same as light, only the frequencies are different. Harmful X-rays have frequencies from 30,000 THz to 600,000 THz. Those x-rays that are more authentic (lower frequency) are called soft x-rays. And high-frequency X-rays are hard.
Further, even more to the right is also known to us gamma radiation. It’s not just harmful, it’s deadly.
Now let’s look the other way. Which waves lie to the left of infrared? And these are well-known radio waves to us! They are conditionally divided into:
– extra-long (from 0 to 3 kilohertz, the length of these waves is thousands of kilometers)
– long (with a frequency of 3 to 30 kilohertz and kilometer length)
– medium (from 300 kHz to 3 megahertz , hectometric)
– short (3 MHz to 30 MHz, decameter)
– meter (30 MHz – 300 MHz)
– decimeter (300 MHz – 3 GHz)
– centimeter or microwave (3 GHz – 30 GHz)
– millimeter or microwave (30 GHz – 300 GHz)
Almost all of these waves are used by mankind in one way or another.
There have been semi-experimental attempts at ultra-long waves to make long-range communication with submarines, since long waves pass well through water.
Conventional radio communications are carried out on long, medium and short waves.
Meter and decimeter – this is the transmission of images in television.
Centimeter waves heat food in microwave ovens.
Millimeter waves are being used in medicine for treatment.
As you can see, the nature of all these oscillations, starting from the longest and “lazy” radio band with thousand-kilometer waves and ending with the shortest and hardest penetrating radiation, is the same.
Part of these vibrations we can perceive directly with our senses –
I mean that short piece of the scale that we call visible light. And now it remains only to answer the question, what are these oscillations, that is, what exactly is oscillating, since light is a wave.
Here I recommend that you remember from what point in the book we started this long conversation about waves. Do not leaf through the book, I will remind the course of events.
We first learned what the substance is made of. It is assembled from only three particles – an electron, a proton and a neutron. Two of them are electrically charged. We fell in love with the periodic table, where all possible atoms are grouped, made from the three indicated elementary particles. We learned from the example of water and salt how molecules are assembled from atoms. (The details of this assembly are studied by the science of chemistry.)
Then it turned out that, in addition to matter, there is also some invisible and intangible field in the world. It is inextricably linked with the substance! The electric field is associated with electrically charged particles. The magnetic field of a magnet is generated by the movement of electrically charged particles. But in general, it makes no sense to separate them, since the magnetic and electrical manifestations of the field are like heads and tails on a coin. Well, there is no separate head and tails, these are just two sides of the same money. Similarly, there is no separate magnetic and electric field. These are two sides of a single electromagnetic field. Sometimes we just see only one of its sides. But it is worth taking a step to the side … A step to the side is a movement. And the movement immediately leads to the “flickering of the sides” of the field: the moving magnetic generates the electric, the moving electric generates the magnetic. And the run of circles went.
Then we hung a magnet on a string, and then a charge and shook them, making them move, oscillate and spread waves through their field.
Guess? The very waves that range from zero to infinity in the frequency range – radio waves, light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma – are simply electromagnetic waves. That is, fluctuations in the electromagnetic field. It permeates the entire universe. It’s just that somewhere the field is “thicker”, and somewhere it becomes thinner to zero.
Below is a scale of these waves, which can be poetically called the “periodic table for electromagnetic oscillations.”

“I was looking for a way to tell about my love” » Film canon • Cinema in the light of Orthodoxy
“great minds” of the country
The film “Dreams about Russia” directed by Pavel Fattakhutdinov from Yekaterinburg was filmed by the film company “Snega” in 2018, and in November this year at the International Charity “Angel” has already received an honorable second place in the nomination “Best Documentary Film”. The solemn ceremony of awarding the winners took place on November 7, in the Zhukov hall of the Poklonka cinema in Moscow. Prior to this, “Dreams” had already been presented at three festivals – “Russia” in Yekaterinburg, “Saint Vladimir” in Sevastopol and “Kunaki” in Nalchik, both took place in October. And at the end of November, two more festival venues are waiting for the tape – “Radonezh” in Moscow and “Date with Russia” in Vologda.
The documentary “Dreams of Russia” is dedicated to the history and modern life of the village of Novikovo (before 1917, Novo-Aleksandrovka) in the Tambov region. Here is the family tomb of the once famous Novikov-Kireev family.
The characters of the film – director of the Michurinsk Agricultural College Nikolai Pozdnyakov , Candidate of Historical Sciences Maxim Medovarov , priest Pavel Medvedev discuss the unique phenomenon of Novikovo as the largest center of education in pre-revolutionary Russia and the fate of the Kireev-Novikov family.
We are talking about General Alexander Kireev , the leader of late Slavophilism, his sister publicist Olga Novikova , who played a unique role in Russian-English relations, her son Alexander Novikov – zemstvo chief, mayor, founder of several schools and colleges, builder of a grandiose cathedral and selfless philanthropist. And it seems that it was a long time ago, but upon closer examination, it suddenly turns out that everything that the Novikov-Kireevs lived by is still relevant today. Not only for the village, but for the whole of Russia. Isn’t the history of our Fatherland a dream? Is charity alive in Russia, and in what ways can our country develop today? About this Paul Fattakhutdinov said in an interview with the Kinokanon website.
– You were born in the Urals, and your hero Alexander Novikov comes from the Tambov region. Ural and Tambov are distant neighbors. How did you find this topic and this hero, or maybe they found you? Do you consider “Dreams” among your previous works or single it out for some reason?
– Yes, I single out this film. I didn’t make those films. By the way, I can say this about any film that I shot in the Snows. But still, this is something special. Let me explain. I grew up quite a happy Soviet child, despite the fact that my mother comes from repatriates from China. The fact that my mother whispered poems by Gumilyov and other white officers to me in a whisper, sang hussar romances, told about the pre-revolutionary life of the Transbaikal Cossacks, was perceived by me as fairy tales. I was surrounded by another – happy, cheerful Soviet life. Gradually, only after many years, love for the pre-revolutionary way of life of my ancestors matured in me. And this love began to burn me from the inside. Especially when my mother died. I suddenly became dear to simple things that once made up the meaning of the life of Cossacks – Orthodoxy, autocracy, nationality. Things that educated class laugh at today. I began to look for a way to tell about my love. As you know, the ways of love are intricate. I have been looking for like-minded people for a long time, but I found historian Maxim Medovarov on Facebook, who became a screenwriter and pointed to the village of Novikovo. This is how the movie started. – In your opinion, what is the situation with charity in modern Russia? Are there people like your hero Alexander Novikov, and how significant is their stratum? Do they play a decisive role in the arrangement of life in Russia? – There was a time when for a churched Orthodox Russian person, industrialist or trader, philanthropy was as natural as breathing. Of course, everyone had their own characteristics, but they were all state-minded people who felt they were part of the people, part of a huge country. And there were many such people. Now we live in a different world. An attempt to make philanthropy profitable, that is, to turn the very meaning of charitable deeds on its head, has so far not yielded noticeable results. But even in the most difficult times, beacons flare up, like our Alexander Ivanovich Novikov, who did good at the call of his heart. In the Urals, many people know the name of the director of the Verkhnesalda titanium plant, V.V. Tetyukhin, who built the most modern hospital for his countrymen with his own money, spending all his fortune on it. Yes, there are few such people. Growing “socially responsible” entrepreneurs is the task of the whole society, including documentary filmmakers.
– The idea of Russia as a separate civilization sounds like a leitmotif in your film. Now in society there are different opinions regarding the ways of development of our country – from “special”, “primordially sacred” to pan-European, Western. Which way is closer to you personally? – We live in the largest country in the world. This is how we got Russia from the hands of our ancestors. And the fact that Russia is still alive suggests that our country, changing its name, retains wonderful vitality. This is, of course, a feature. This is how it should remain forever. This is the legacy of our ancestors. I not only think so, I feel and believe so. And the film about the Slavophiles is not a calculation or a statement of a historian, but a declaration of love for the “father’s coffins”, for those people who lived in Russia before us and gave everything to the Fatherland – talent, strength, life. And arguments about the form in which it is more profitable for a country to exist in the modern world are unacceptable to me. It is important for me to preserve the country, “if only my native country would live” … I have already said that my attitude towards Russia comes from my mother, she is a Transbaikalian Cossack, her family left for China after the 1917 revolution. At 1947 they returned to their homeland. Having survived a foreign land, they learned the value of their native land. Part of the maternal feeling lives in me. Yes, I see a lot around me that does not suit me as a citizen. Yes, I want Russia to become an economically independent country, for Russia to develop industry and its own production, for science and medicine to flourish, for education to educate Russian citizens. This is the task of the whole society. Including documentary filmmakers should do their bit. For me, it is to overcome the alienation in the young brains of our children from their own country, from their own history. And you can overcome formal, “administrative patriotism” by giving them books, for example, by Aksakovs… Yes, even any Russian writer – Turgenev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Leskov… Is it possible, while reading “The Nest of Nobles”, “Sevastopol Tales”, “A Teenager”, “Idiot” or “Soboryan” – not to want to become Russian?! Yes, I would like the country to set ambitious goals for young people. – The Gospel of John, the words of Christ about the grain that fell into the ground, precede your tape. What or who could become such a grain in the new Russia? – The gospel words that we put in the epigraph are a dream for a young man, our viewer, to try them on. You can ask and demand, you can be indignant, you can spit on everything, as many do, and remain a stranger in your country or dream of leaving it – you can take such a position. Or you can give yourself, give something to people, and then involuntarily feel that your country is yours, that the country needs your brains and hands. .. Such dreams, hopes.
– One of your heroes says that “Slavophiles are people who showed how to live with their people in order to avoid social upheavals.” Today, the degree of dissatisfaction with social injustice in the country is growing again, because there is no dialogue between citizens and the authorities and there is no understanding of the depth of the pressing problems of Russians. How would you yourself answer the question: how should the authorities today live with their people in order to avoid social upheavals? – My dears! There is power. And there is eternal Russia. These are different things. The confusion of these concepts is the task of political technologists and “busters”. This is done for selfish purposes, you need to know this. We are trying to remind you of the eternal. Yes, I don’t like oligarchic capitalism. But even more I do not like the state of chaos. Yes, I don’t like a lot of what the government does. And even more dislike what does not! But this is no reason to hate the Motherland or do nothing. – Patriotism as a service to the people and as a service to the state apparatus – what is more today? How can you characterize the kind of patriotism that is being introduced today at the official level? What is patriotism for you? – I see that any positive statement about the history of Russia is automatically transferred to the current government in the country. And it provokes protest. It is not right. If the political regime does not suit you, this is no reason to hate the Motherland. Yes, there is a lot of irresponsible patriotic rhetoric, it can be annoying. “Patriotism as serving the people” – there are not enough of them, more words! But, I repeat, this is not a reason not to love the Motherland. And you can love the Motherland only by recognizing it, but the implanted feeling of rejection towards the country becomes an insurmountable obstacle for a young person. – There is a very beautiful nature in your film. Is this the magic of the operator or the real picture? – Russian nature is the most beautiful in the world! I traveled a lot. And I can compare. Such beauties as in Siberia – Baikal, Lena, Angara, and Altai, and the Russian North … there is no such beauty anywhere! Thanks to documentaries, otherwise I would not have recognized my country! How can one describe the slow movement of a steamboat along the Lena, when you stand at night on the deck under the starry sky, and suddenly you see a bear swimming in front of the ship … But you also need to be able to capture beauty! The operator is a difficult profession. Especially the documentary operator. They are becoming less and less. – From your film about life in the village there is no feeling of decline: bright people, bright, optimistic shots, while most of the villages and villages in Russia are in terrible desolation. What does a dream about Russia mean to you and how real is it?
– For us, a dream is the past, in which there were both powerful minds and figures. God bless this dream come true. Yes, the village is dying for the most part. But Novikovo is alive because Alexander Ivanovich Novikov invested so much of his love in the village that it lasted for centuries.
or – The final frame, when the priest gets on the plane and takes off into the sky, is symbolic, but not banal, but unexpected, how was it invented? Does it mean that you believe in the Church as a force capable of leading our country out of the crisis? – My mother was a believer. And she baptized me and raised me in respect for the Church and its hierarchs. And she explained to me that the Church exists in order to come, confess and receive remission of your sins. Theirs! And not to criticize the priests! To try to sin less myself is my dream. Criticizing the Church is definitely not a top priority. Especially documentaries. Yes, I am sure that the Church is the basis of our state. And that Russia is under Divine protection. – “Dreams of Russia” are laying their festival route confidently, but will there be shows on TV? – The main venue for documentaries – festivals. TV is less and less interested in documentaries. The last picture of the film company “Snega”, which was widely shown on TV, was the series “Equal to the Greatest Battles” about the evacuation during the Great Patriotic War. But our relationship with TV has been talked about a thousand times! What we have now is a blatant matter! The situation must be changed! Interviewed by journalist Elena Balayan The next screening of film by Pavel Fattakhutdinov “Dreams of Russia” will take place as part of the XXIV International Film and TV Festival “Radonezh” on November 24, 2019. Small Hall of the House of Cinema, show starts at 16:00. The festival takes place at the address: Moscow, House of Cinema, st. Vasilievskaya, 13 (m. Belorusskaya, Mayakovskaya)
Artistic Director of the BDT im.
Tovstonogov – about the present and future of actors and spectators in a changing world

Atom and molecule
First of all, welcome back to the historical building.
Andrey Moguchiy: Well, the real return was seven years ago, in 2014, when we returned to this building after a really major overhaul. And now there was a correction, let’s call it that, of the mistakes that were made then. After that repair, very soon water appeared in the basement and hold of the stage, the roof began to leak, if it was raining outside, then it was dripping in the elevator, well, and other delights. Now there is hope that this will not happen again. The builders this time seemed obligatory and responsible people. Everything was done on time and seems to be of good quality. That’s rare in this business. But time will tell.
Anyway, we returned home after half a year of wandering, and even a pandemic. .. In short, everyone is happy.
Recently the theater began to patronize “Rosatom”. Maybe that’s why the repair is at the atomic level?
Andrey Moguchiy : No, of course, it has nothing to do with the repair of Rosatom. Thanks to him, Rosatom became the general partner in the year of the theatre’s centenary, and we cooperate very closely and fruitfully. It is a wonderful coincidence that at the moment when the pandemic began, we had such friends and partners. We survived largely thanks to their help.
BDT has just announced a big program related to science. This is hello to the “Formal Theatre” – your love for new forms in art?
Andrey Moguchiy: I am an engineer by first education, although then I was engaged in theater all my life. It seems that now these two parts of my life have a chance to connect. When we conceived the project a year ago, the idea of making a laboratory on the topic of interaction between science and art seemed relatively fresh. I mean for theatrical art…
Yes, that’s understandable.
Andrei Moguchiy: The theater is traditionally late in mastering new aesthetic spaces, unlike contemporary art. What a shame. I would like to correct this situation.
I don’t know how new the forms are. The same ancient “Bhagavad Gita” (part of the ancient Indian epic “Mahabharata”, a concentrate of Hindu philosophy. – “RG”) – in fact, almost a textbook on quantum physics. It can be read as a text describing the laws of the universe. So science and art, “art and science”, is an ancient thing, and the current interest in this, I think, is associated with digitalization, digitalization of life, mentality, the whole way of existence.
This is such a look into a terrible, incomprehensible future, where we are gradually entering. It is very important to do this precisely on the threshold of a new era of dehumanization, when “machines” are advancing so quickly. We need to start talking to them somehow. We have a project where the “Where the Dogs Run” group of artists is trying, together with scientists, to teach a machine, say, playing chess, to recognize smells – so that this new understanding of reality affects its main function. That is, to humanize the robot, to include in its decision-making system some kind of “emotional” error. For scientists, this task sounds absurd: why bring down the program of a robot that is performing its task? It’s a paradox, but the artist must intuitively anticipate a new stage in the relationship between the living and the non-living. Moreover, humanity will sooner or later approach this.
The project is called “Laboratory No. 3”. Our task is to find a genuine connection between different types of cognition. Nobody is going to surprise anyone.
Evgeny Zamyatin, by the way, was also an engineer. In 1920, he wrote the novel “We” under the impression of a new civilization of machines, the ghost of which he saw in England. And we read his anti-utopia as a metaphor for the totalitarian Soviet reality.
Andrey Moguchy: Everything is very complicated. The question of totalitarianism and the left idea is now undergoing such changes that we could not have imagined ten years ago. We imperceptibly – out of fear, ignorance, misunderstanding, ignorance, voluntarily or involuntarily – pour water on something that may well turn into new, unknown forms. Strange time, strange era.

Cloud and Matrix
Does the new situation, orientation towards the “machine” somehow change the concept of the actor’s existence on stage here and now?
Andrei Moguchiy: Theater is all about here and now. If about something else, then this is no longer a theater. A new era is coming, for sure. Have you seen Suzanne Kennedy’s “Three Sisters” at the NET festival? This is one of the important performances for today. Her lonely robots are sad about the past, about a bygone era. Amazing performance. Premonition of the future.
One must be attentive to oneself and to others. And carefully try to build yourself into this situation. Or remain a partisan of the beautiful sensual past and wage war on the future…
… From which robot nostalgia is being broadcast to us?
Andrey Mighty: Some kind of cosmic sadness, it’s true. We will all end up either in the “matrix” or in the “cloud”, if not already there. It is difficult for us to assess this now. But the history of our earthly lost paradise, our feelings, habits and passions, I think, is about to end. In any case, we are heading for some kind of disaster.
During the pandemic, you made a very cool bdtdigital project. What is left of this experience?
Andrey Moguchy: We made this project out of fear of losing each other. Lose the most beautiful past. From the need to fill the void that has suddenly arisen with the pandemic. We were very actively engaged in this for two or three months, and then we got terribly tired. It became unbearably hard – because we are people. Our genetic memory screams, does not want to enter this virtuality. But the experience was very important for all of us. In particular, the project of my student Edik Zakarian was born, who made two BDT performances – “The Cherry Orchard” and “Mozart and Salieri”, performances inside the Minecraft game. Two very short performances based on summaries of the classics.
At exactly seven o’clock, the artists, sitting at home, with the help of square-headed avatars, entered the virtual stage. Improvisation, live reaction, spectators who comment on the action. It was very similar to what is happening in a live theater. And I watched, feeling involved, empathized – almost like in the theater. Inside these geometric figures were the living souls of artists who sit far apart and connect on a virtual platform, see each other’s digital tears. Behind the virtual figures there was a real experience – this, of course, terribly struck. I’m not talking about the fact that a project like bdtdigital can be useful for social or documentary theater.
Did you also prepare the premiere of “Three Fat Men. Episode 7. Teacher” in zoom?
Andrey Moguchiy: No, we didn’t leave the stage at all. Everyone was closed, but we stayed. It was a wonderful time for us, because it is simply impossible to rehearse on the big stage as much as we rehearsed in a “peaceful” life. But there are pluses and minuses. It was a river without banks, nothing limited, nothing disciplined. Only in the last 10 days we were able to mobilize, inject adrenaline into ourselves and do what we could not do in a year. Even so, there is a lack of urgency in this performance. Fearlessness before slowness.
Past and future
Is this experience of working in isolation completely unreproducible in everyday life?
Andrey Mighty: Why? We can implant this experience into reality. It is necessary to change in a certain way the organizational forms of today’s theater, which are sharpened for yesterday. Among my interests and tasks for the near future is to try to make such a reform.
Reform concerning the production of the play?
Andrey Moguchiy: Both production and distribution, which can be much more flexible and varied than is customary in the theater today. And many other things need to be reformed in the theater, even under the conditions that legislation gives us. Whether it works or not is another question. Director Anatoly Vasiliev once shared his thoughts on organizing a repertory theater. He is a sage, he suggested some wonderful ideas that I am trying to introduce into the minds of the administrative, financial and economic block of our theater. I hope it works. When the program is at least in some respects clear, we will tell you what we are thinking.
On the second stage of the BDT – in the Kamennoostrovsky Theater – you came up with the program “Four”. It’s called experimental. Why?
Andrey Moguchiy: I suggested that four already well-known directors play a certain game. Everyone should become the artistic director of the Kamennoostrovsky Theater for some time. Alas, good performances have arisen and, I hope, will continue to arise, but the ambition to become an artistic director, to have an artistic program has not appeared. What’s next? We draw conclusions, but the program will certainly continue. As a result, one leader will come out, who will be given carte blanche to lead the Second Stage of the BDT for, say, a season. This is interesting, because in the generation that follows us, there is no interest, no desire to design, invent their own theater. It all comes down to creating a performance here and there, but not a program.
You have just entered a new, already second director’s workshop. What is the fate of the first? Have approaches to the education of directors changed?
Andrey Moguchiy: The fate of the first workshop is still not completely clear. Their graduation fell on a pandemic, when it was impossible to meet, there were no classes, and this, of course, is a disaster. They survive as best they can. I have already spoken about Edik Zakarian, who is now at Bogomolov’s to release Hamlet before the New Year. In Moscow, Anya Makeeva at the theater of the Russian Army is about to release a performance, as far as I know. Performances by Arseniy Bekhterev and Famil Javadov were released at the BDT. In Yaroslavl, Arseniy Meshcheryakov will soon have to defend his diploma. I help as much as I can. But at the same time, I take a responsible approach to the artistic quality of their work.
What about the new course?
Andrey Mighty: Time will tell. On the previous course, we let go of the reins from the first day. They had to do exactly what they thought was right, what they wanted. But you can develop in the profession only if you have the tools. With the new course, we started with a hard turn of the screws. They do not leave the educational building of the BDT, from morning to night in the theater. We started not with freedom, but with a craft.
The theater is late in mastering new aesthetic spaces, in contrast to contemporary art. What a shame. Wanted to fix this situation0003
We immerse them in their own “I”, teach them to analyze the flow of everyday life, to treat life as an art. They have already written little plays about some stories from their own lives. Now we come to the main thing – the director’s analysis. The word “parsing” is key for me. This is the beacon without which you hang out in chaos.
Another word in your vocabulary is sincerity. Has his understanding changed in any way over time?
Andrey Moguchiy: A gesture stronger in sincerity than Alice (Freindlich) made eight years ago in the play “Alice” or now Dreyden in the play “Three Fat Men. Episode 7. Teacher” is probably hard to imagine. They work sacrificially.

The first player on a team has 1 minute to act out the word on their paper. If their team guesses the word before the 1 minute is up their team gets 1 point. If they don’t guess the word the other team has one chance to guess the correct answer and win the point.
The trade-off between teams taking turns until all the kids have had a chance to act out a word.
The winning team has the most points at the end of the game.

Escape Room Party
If your looking for more of a mental challenge try an Escape Room birthday party. It’s a super fun game and your kids will love the challenge of solving the puzzle of an Escape Room.
What You Need – Storyline, clues, and puzzles to solve.
We like to use the Escape Room Geeks Printable sets or Lock Paper Scissors Kits. They have everything you need for the game already created for you. Just print it out and you’re ready to go.
See our full review in Best Printable Escape Room Games for Kids to find the right difficulty level for your kids.
How to Play – First, download and print out the storyline and clues to solve the puzzle.
Next, break the kids up into teams, and give each team a separate space to sit and solve the puzzle. Basically, you just don’t want them to hear what the other team is saying so they don’t cheat.
To start the game you can either read the storyline to all the kids or give each group the sheet to read themselves. After that give each group the set of clues to try and solve the puzzle and break out of the escape room.
The escape room kits are created by age group so you can find one that will be easy enough for all ages at the party. You’ll find games that will work for kids ages 5 years old to Teenagers.
This has been one of our kid’s favorite party games so check out our Escape room games review & plan your party.

Hot Potato
What You Need – An actual potato or get the electronic Hot Potato that plays timed music to make it easier to run the game.
How to Play – Have the kids sit in a circle. When the music starts they begin passing the potato. When the music stops whoever has the potato is out. The winner is the last child still in the game.
Saran Wrap Candy Ball
What You Need – Pieces of Candy or small trinkets for prizes, 2 -3 boxes of Saran Wrap (Cling Wrap), 2 dice, and tin pie holder (to roll dice)
How to Make Your Saran Wrap Ball – Start by laying out a couple of layers of Saran Wrap on a flat surface. Then add a prize and roll it into a ball. Next, add another piece of candy in a different location and wrap a few more pieces of Saran Wrap.
Rotate the ball each time you wrap it so the wrapping starts in different locations and is harder to open. Also, make sure to keep shaping it into a ball as you go.
Keep going with alternating between wrapping and adding a prize until you’ve wrapped all your prizes.
How to Play – Sit the kids in a circle to play. Each round has an “unwrapper” and dice player sitting next to each other.
When you say go the unwrapper starts unwrapping and the dice play throws their dice until they get doubles. Use the pie tin to throw the dice into so they don’t roll too far.
When they get doubles the unwrapper has to stop and can keep any prizes that came out while they were playing.
The ball is then passed to the dice player who now becomes the unwrapper and the player next to them is the dice player. Keep going like this around the circle until you’ve come to the last prize.
Tip: I would add the best prize you are giving in first when wrapping the ball. This way the last prize of the game they open is your best item.
Detective Games
Plan a fun Mystery party with exciting Detective Games for kids. Tell the kids a detective riddle and have them write their answers in invisible ink to create secret messages. While it dries play escape room games, or have a teddy bear scavenger hunt with clues.
You’ll find tons of ideas in our Mystery & Detective Games for Kids.
Musical Chairs
What You Need – Enough chairs for all the kids but one. So if you have 12 kids have 11 chairs. Plus music to play during the game.
How to Play – Place chairs in two rows with the backs of the chairs touching the row behind them. Kids begin by forming a circle around the chairs.
Next start the music and the kids walk in a circle around the chairs. When the music stops they must sit down on a chair.
The kid who does not get a chair is out. Each round after someone is out, remove a chair and play again. In the end, you will have one chair and two players. Whoever gets that chair is the winner.
Laser Maze
What You Need – streamers, painters tape
How to Play – Create a fun laser maze for the kids to climb through at the birthday party. It’s super easy to do with streamers taped across your hallway.
I suggest using painters tape so that you don’t ruin the paint on your walls.
When it’s all set up let your kids try to get through the maze without touching the lasers (streamers). To make it a game have the kids race through and time them to see who is the fastest.
Learn more about making your own DIY Hallway Laser Maze.
Freeze Dance
This is a simple game that can be played when you need something quick to take up time and get the kids wiggles out.
What You Need – Music to Play
How to Play – When the music starts the kids start dancing. When the music stops they need to freeze. Anyone who doesn’t freeze is out. The last child still in the game is the winner.
Bingo
What You Need – Bingo Cards to play
How to Play – Kids each get a Bingo card and chips to cover their card. The parent will then call out a picture or number on the cards. If kids have it they cover that square with a chip. The first to get a row with chips wins.
Minute to Win It
Spice up your party with a few competitive Minute to Win It Games. Each game only takes a minute to play and they are hilarious to watch. You can do a few different games or just stick to one.
Read our top 20 Minute To Win It Games for kids and find one that’s perfect for your party.
If your kids are older try these Minute to Win It Games for Teens & Tweens.
Scavenger Hunt
What You Need – Printable Scavenger Hunt clues and Prizes. Use our Free Printable Indoor Scavenger Hunts.
How to Play – Hide your clues around the house and prizes before the kids start. Break the kids up into teams and give them the first clue to get started. Then let them roam the house to find all the clues and eventual prize.
TIP: Print out the clues in a different color for each team so they know when they find their clue. Then rearrange the order of clues for each team so they are not all headed to the same place at the same time.
Airplane Races
What You Need – Blank 8X11 Paper, Crayons, Paperclips
How to Play – Let the kids start out by folding and decorating their planes. Then have them line up and see who’s plane flies the furthest. To keep it going add paper clips in the next round to the tip and see if it changes the outcome.
Balloon Challenge
What You Need – Balloons
How to Play – Give each kid a balloon you’ve blown up (not helium) and see who can keep the balloon up in the air the longest without it touching the ground. Make it harder by having them keep one hand behind their back.
Find more balloon games in 15 Favorite Balloon Games for Parties.
Capture the Flag
What You Need – Something to be a flag could be a bandana or a piece of cloth. You’ll need one for each team you have.
How to Play – A parent hides each team’s flag around the house and the team that finds their flag first wins.
Bigger Challenge – If kids are a little older make it more challenging by adding in Nerf Guns.
Each team still searches for their flag but if you are shot by an opponent’s nerf dart you have to go back to your base and start searching over again.
Get more details in our How to Throw the Best Nerf Wars Birthday Party.
Hide & Seek
This is a classic game and great for smaller kids’ birthday parties.
How to Play – One child is the seeker the others are the hiders. The seeker closes their eyes and counts to 10. While they do that the other kids hide.
The first kid they find is the seeker for the next game. Continue to keep searching until all the kids are found then start another round.
Mummy Wrap
This is a great game at Halloween time but honestly, it’s really fun any time of the year.
What You Need – 2 Rolls of Toliet Paper per team
How to Play – Divide the kids up into teams. Each team then picks one person to be wrapped up like a mummy. When you say go each team will work to cover that person with toilet paper.
There are two ways you could pick winners. 1 – The first to wrap the entire body of the player. 2 – The first to go through all their toilet paper.
TIP: It’s tempting to buy the cheap toilet paper but it tends to rip easily and it is harder to wrap the mummy.
Tennis Balloon
What You Need – paper plate for each kid, popsicle stick for each kid or wooden spoons, masking tape, crayons, and balloons.
How to Play – Have each child start by decorating their paper plate and taping it to a popsicle stick or wooden spoon. Then team up kids in twos and give each team a balloon.
When you say go one player throws the balloon up and the team hits the balloon back and forth like a game of tennis. If a team’s balloon touches the ground they are out. The last team left in the game wins.

Pin the Tail on the Donkey
This is a classic game for smaller kids and is loved by all.
What You Need – Pin the Tail on the Donkey Kit with a poster, eye mask, and fake tail to pin.
How to Play – Hang the poster up on the wall and give each kid a donkey tail to pin. The first child puts on the mask and tries to pin the tail on the donkey while blindfolded. Continue by letting each child try. In the end whichever tail is the closest to the right spot wins.
TIP: If you want to do this more than one-time use painter tape on the back of the tail to easily take them on and off without ripping the poster.
Indoor Bowling
What You Need – 10 Empty Water Bottles, One Soft Ball or use a kid’s bowling kit.
How to Play – Set up the water bottles like bowling pins. Then have the kids roll the ball and see who can knock down the most pins.
TIP: Set up the pins with a wall behind them so you can easily pick them up and they don’t roll all over when knocked down.
Zoom Games
Have a party with friends and family that live far away with a virtual birthday party. Kids will love playing Zoom Games like Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader, scavenger hunts, charades, bingo, and more.
Get more ideas on how to play Zoom Games with kids.
Outdoor Party Games
If you plan to have an outside party and it ends up raining you can adjust many of these to also be fun inside party games.
Find even more Backyard Birthday Games in our Fun Outdoor Party Games for Kids.
Obstacle Course
What You Need – Cones, Hula Hoops, ladder, 2 sturdy buckets, long board, or anything you have at home that might work in an obstacle course.
How to Play – Create an obstacle course in your backyard for the kids to run through one at a time. If you want it to be a competitive game time the kids to see who runs through the fastest
Obstacle Course Idea – Line up 5 cones for kids to weave through, then hop through a hula hoop, next cross a balance beam (board & two buckets), and end by running through a ladder laid flat on the ground.
This can be easily adjusted to whatever you have laying around the house. I’ve even taped cut-out shapes that the kids hop through like a frog.
Piñata
Kids love to line up and hit a Pinata filled with candy or treats. You can find fun pinatas for all different themed birthday parties. Find your child’s favorite character or a cute smiley face.
Hula Hoop Contest
What You Need – Several Hula Hoops
How to Play – Have kids start hula hooping at the same time and see who can last the longest.
Tag
What You Need – Nothing except glow stick necklaces for the nighttime game.
How to Play – Choose one child to be the tagger and the rest run. The tagger tries to tap one of the runners. Once they do then that person is the new tagger.
Zombie Tag – The tagger is a zombie and the rest of the kids are humans. Once a human is tagged by a zombie they become a zombie too and begin tagging the humans. Whoever is the last human left is the winner.
Freeze Tag – When kids get tagged in this game they have to freeze. In order to unfreeze another kid needs to crawl between your legs to free you. But they must do this without getting tagged themselves. The last kid, not frozen wins.
Glow in the Dark Tag – Have each kid wear glow stick necklaces and play tag at night in the backyard. Before you play this make sure they have a safe place to play in the dark with no obstacles in the way or streets close by to run on.
Water Balloon Baseball
What You Need – Water Balloons, bat, bases
How to Play – Put the kids on two teams. One goes in the outfield and the other team waits to bat.
The pitcher will throw 3 water balloon pitches. If the batter hits it they advance to first base and the other players move to the next base or make it home.
If the batter misses all three pitches they are out. You score by making it around all the bases just like a real baseball game.
This is a really fun party game on a hot summer day.
Water Balloon Battle
What You Need – Water Balloons and a large bucket for each team
How to Play – Break kids up into two teams and each gets a bucket of water balloons. Then let the kids throw the balloons at the other team. You can do a line down the middle to keep them from getting too close with the balloons.
TIP: When the game is done tell them the faster they pick up all the balloons in the grass the quicker they can eat the cake. That way they are all cleaned up before the end of the party.
Water Balloon Toss
What You Need – Water Balloons
How to Play – Have kids pick a partner and line up in two long lines facing their partner. Kids will throw the water balloon to their partner to catch.
Start out with the kids close and after each round have the kids take two big steps back. If you drop the balloon your team is out.
Spoon Races
What You Need – Large wooden spoons, water balloons, and small cones or chairs to race around – If it’s cold you could use ping pong balls instead of water balloons.
How to Play – Give each player a wooden spoon and a small water balloon. When you say go they race around the cone and back to their starting position. The goal is to make it back without dropping the water balloon.
TIP: Don’t put too much water in the ballon so that it can fit the size of your wooden spoon.
Sack Races
What You Need – Pillow Slips for Each Player and cones /chairs
How to Play – Kids step into the pillow slip and need to hop from the starting line around a cone and back to the starting line. It’s a race so the first back to the starting line wins.
TIP: If you want to make a project out of it let the kids decorate their pillow slips before you play and then take them home as part of a goody bag.
Basketball Shooting Contest
What You Need – A basketball hoop and basketballs
How to Play – Draw chalk lines every couple of feet from the basketball hoop. Start by having the kids all shoot from the closest line.
Whoever, makes it goes on to the next round and shoots from the next line. Keep going until you make it shooting from all the lines.
If there is more than one kid left at that point have each kid shoot until they miss and are out. The kid that is left is the winner.
Backyard Nerf Wars, Targets & Fortnite Battles
What You Need – Nerf Guns, Bases
How to Play – Divide the kids into two teams each with their own base. They can use nerf guns you provide or have the kids bring their own from home.
When you say go the kids try to shoot the other team with their nerf darts. If kids get shot then they’re out. Kids can use their nerf bases and obstacles you set up in the yard to hide behind. The team with players left at the end wins.
Get more details on Nerf War Parties, Nerf Gun Games & Targets, and Fortnite Birthday Parties for creating bases, games, goody bags, and food. Everything you need for a complete party.
Tug of War
What You Need – A large rope, and a small one to create a line
How to Play – Lay out a long rope on the grass and place a line in the middle of the rope on the ground to indicate where the players need to pull too.
Divide the kids into two groups and have them stand on their side of the rope. When you say go they pull and try to get the other team to step over the line.

Kid Approved Classics for Ages 5-12 Years
As a kid, parties are simply the best. What’s not to love about getting to spend a large portion of the day with your friends, laughing and running around celebrating life! As a parent, planning and hosting your child’s birthday party can feel like an epic responsibility. Which is why I come back, again and again, to the classics! Classic kids party food, classic birthday themes and classic party games for kids.
In my opinion, they’ve all acquired classic status because they’ve stood the test of time, being enjoyed by thousands of children the world over.
Of course, in some parts of the world, your classic birthday party games might look a little different or even be called something else – but wherever you live, your kids are sure to create fabulous childhood memories of joy and fun and laughter with a game or two from this list!
(If your are looking for party games for older children, check out our list of classic tween party games for 10-14 year olds.)
1. Musical Chairs You know the drill, right? Set up one less chair than the number of children playing. Start the music and everyone walks around the chairs until they hear the music stop, then everyone rushes to grab a chair as quickly as possible. The last person standing it out, another chair is removed, and the music starts again until there is only one final person standing.
Simply things even further by removing the chairs and play musical bobs (bob down when the music stops, slowest person to hit the ground is out) or musical statues (freeze in position when the music stops, anyone still moving is out) instead.
Find even more musical party games >> 15 Musical Kids Party Games
2. Pin the Tail on the Donkey Pop a donkey poster up on the wall (you can order one like this online), blindfold players one at a time and spin each one in a circle a few times before letting them try to stick the donkey tail as close as possible to its rump!
Of course, it doesn’t have to be a tail or a donkey! We’ve improvised to suit the themes of our birthday parties with pin the wand to the fairy, pin the beard on the dwarf and pin the tail on the mermaid. Feel free to get creative to suit your birthday party theme.
3. Pass the Parcel Okay so this one takes a little preparation but it’s such a huge hit with younger children that I had to include it on our list. Before the party, purchase a small, inexpensive prize related to the party theme or just something that you know your child and her friends will love and then wrap it in lots of layers of paper – recycled wrapping paper or newspaper are great. You’ll want at least one layer per child. To play, have the children sit in a circle, passing the wrapped parcel around the circle while you play some fun music. When the music stops, the child holding the parcel removes the outer layer of paper. Start the music again and continue until one child unwraps the final layer of paper to reveal their prize.
You might like to put a small lolly/sweet or balloon in each layer of wrap so that each of the children receive a prize.
4. Egg Toss Unless you are very brave, hard boil the eggs beforehand (though I must admit, it’s much funnier if your eggs aren’t boiled – especially for tweens and teens), you’ll need one egg per pair.
Pair players up and have them toss an egg back and forth to each other. Each time the children both catch it, they must take a step backward and continue. The team that can catch their egg with the furthest distance between them, wins!
5. Egg and Spoon Race Line players up, each with an egg balanced on a tablespoon. On “go,” players race to the predetermined finish line. If their egg drops, they must stop and put it back on their spoon before proceeding further (or, if you’re really tough, send them back to the start each time it drops!)
Again, hard boil your eggs before hand for a cleaner finish!
6. Sack Race For a sack race you will need a hessian/burlap sack or a large pillowcase for each player (you can also play in relay teams to minimise the number of sacks you need). To race, guests must stand with their feet inside the sack and on ‘go’ race to the finish line (or to their teammate if you’re playing relay style). The first player to cross the finish line or first team to have all members jump is the winner.
7. Treasure Hunt Treasure hunts (or scavenger hunts) can be super simple to set up, or as involved and detailed as you wish. To keep it super simple, hide wrapped sweets/lollies around the play space for guests to hunt, each guest keeps what they find. For a treasure hunt that’s a little more involved hide a series of tokens around the play space for guests to find – the child who finds the most wins a prize. The tokens can be anything – small coloured gemstones, printed tokens like the ones we used here for a goblin hunt, painted rocks, etc.
Finally, at the much more involved end of the scale is a treasure hunt with a series of pre-written clues that guests must read and solve (as a group) in a trail around the party space to find a hidden treasure.
8. Wheelbarrrow Races
Played in pairs, wheelbarrow races are tons of fun. The first person is the wheelbarrow – they start with their hands on the ground and their legs are held by the second person (the driver) in the pair. The wheelbarrow ‘walks’ their hands across the ground while the driver follows behind, holding their legs and steering the wheelbarrow. First team across the finish line are the winners.
9. Duck, Duck, Goose A total classic, right? Totally simple, too. Have your partygoers sit in a circle cross-legged. Select one be the “goose.” The goose stands up and walks around the cirle of children, tapping (gently!) each of the other players on the head. Each time the “goose” taps a head, he or she says “duck.” When they decide on the person they want to chase them, they tap that person’s head saying “goose” and then start off running. If they can make it all the way around the circle, back to the seat of the person that just hopped up and sit down, then they are no longer the “goose.” The person who failed to catch them becomes the new goose. If they are caught, they sit in the centre of the circle and miss being selected for further turns.
10. Balloon Relay Race Running and balloons is always a good idea when it comes to classic party games. Divide your guests into relay teams of four players, two on each side of the play space. You can play a balloon relay in a number of different ways – our favourite requires players to place an inflated balloon between their knees and jumping across the play space. Other versions require players to choose their own way of travelling across the space with the balloon but no hands allowed! This can be fun when played in pairs – each pair has to travel across the space with a balloon squashed between heads, backs or bellies! Alternatively, you can give each player an inflated balloon, have them race to the other side of the yard and sit on a chair and pop their balloon before racing back and tagging the next person in line. The first team to get this completed from start to finish wins!
11. Pinata Before party day you’ll need to purchase or make a piñata to match your party theme and fill it with treats.
Hang the piñata so that it is hanging at about head height. Have party goers stand in a line a few metres away. Traditionally, players are blindfolded and gently spun around three times before trying to hit the piñata with a wooden stick but nowadays players simply take turns hitting the piñata (without a blindfold) until it breaks open.
12. Limbo Two adults hold either end of a broomstick (or similar) loosely, at stomach height. The children take turns going under the stick without touching it, bending their knees and leaning back as necessary. The stick is lowered after all of the children have filed under it. Anyone who falls, touches the ground with their hands or touches the stick is out.
For a fun twist, Limbo is especially awesome on rollerskates. A great party game for kids at a roller disco!

Great for Tweens & Teens
Inside: 11 fun party games for 10-14 year olds – perfect for tweens and teens.
There is nothing better than seeing your child laughing and playing with their friends – especially in the digital age we live in, with many tweens and teens spending so much time on their phones and other electronic devices. I am sure you will agree that there is no better time to get them off the screens and having fun together than a birthday party and this collection of classic kids party games includes games that are budget friendly, super simple to play and sure to generate lots of laughs for tweens and teens!
These also make great youth group games, games for school camps, or any other setting where a group of 10-14 years olds are together.
1. Hanging Donuts Game I had forgotten all about this game until I went to a Halloween party at a friend’s house. It was so much fun that even the adults insisted on having a turn! To play, tie a length of rope above head height between two trees or poles. Thread a piece of ribbon through the hole in each donut and then tie the ribbon to the rope so that the donut is hanging just above mouth level. On a start signal, each player tries to eat their donut – no hands allowed!
2. The Chocolate Game Guests sit in a circle on the floor and take turns to roll two dice, passing them around the circle in a clockwise direction. If a child rolls a double number they put on a set of two or three dress ups (e.g. a hat and scarf or coat and boots) and then use a knife and fork to cut individual squares from a family sized block of chocolate and eat them. They keep cutting and eating until the next player rolls a double. The key is to keep the dice moving as fast as possible so that the person eating the chocolate changes regularly.
3. Cookie Face Each player puts a small cookie (e. g. an Oreo) on their forehead and using only their facial expressions must try and move the cookie into their mouth.
4. Egg Toss It’s much funnier if your eggs aren’t boiled – especially for tweens and teens! Just be sure to take it outdoors! You’ll need one egg per pair.
Pair players up and have them toss an egg back and forth to each other. Each time the children both catch it, they must take a step backward and continue. The team that can catch their egg with the furthest distance between them, wins!
5. Freeze Tag One player is chosen to be ‘It.’ It chases the other players and when he/she tags a player, that person must freeze and remain frozen until another untagged player tags them to unfreeze them, they then may re-join the game. The game is played until all players have been frozen and then a new It is chosen for the next round.
To make the game even more fun, when unfreezing a tagged player you must call out the name of a television show. If you call the name of a show that has already been used, both you and the frozen player are now frozen together and must remain frozen until another player is free to rescue you!
6. Balloon Stomp Have guests take off their shoes before playing. Each player will need an inflated balloon tie to a short piece of string and then tied around one ankle. On ‘go’ players attempt to stomp on (and pop) each of the other balloons, while trying to protect their own – no hands allowed! The last person with an inflated balloon tied to their ankle wins.
7. Limbo You’ll need a broomstick for a limbo pole and your favourite tunes for a classic game of Limbo! Hold the pole horizonally to the floor (you’ll need a person either end) at about chest height. Players line up and take turns to dance under the limbo pole without knocking or touching it – if you touch it, you’re out. Players must lean backwards, not forwards, as they pass under the pole. Once all the players are through, the pole is dropped about an inch and the players again must pass under the pole without touching it. The last player dancing is the winner.
8. Roll a Sundae My eleven year old and her friends had lots of fun with this one at a recent sleepover party. You’ll need to choose six different sundae toppings – things like whipped cream, chocolate or strawberry topping, marshmallows, sour worms, sprinkles, mini M&Ms, etc – and you’ll need a bowl of ice cream for each person and a dice. Before starting, allocate one number of the dice for each topping, then the kids take turns to roll the dice and they add the topping rolled to their sundae. You can keep going around, adding toppings, for as many rounds as you like. Then it’s time to eat!
9. Wink Assassin Everybody sits in a circle. One person is nominated to be It and moves away from the circle while everyone else decides who the ‘murderer’ will be. ‘It’ is called back to stand in the circle. The ‘murderer’ winks at one person in the circle at a time (trying to do it without ‘It’ seeing). When someone has been winked at, they pretend to die dramatically! ‘It’ has to try to deduce who the murderer is. Once they guess, the murderer becomes the next ‘It’ and the game starts over.
10. Name That Tune! Before the party line up a playlist of your tween/teens favourite songs and some other popular tunes. Divide players into groups of two or three. Play a tiny snippet of each tune and have the groups guess the name of the song. Include spot prizes for particularly tricky toons and a fun prize for the winning team to keep things competitive.
11. Neighbourhood Scavenger Hunt Divide your party guests into two teams and send them off on a neighborhood scavenger hunt. This post at Southern Plate has some great ideas for developing clues and challenges for the hunt.

These are great games for karaoke, disco or dance parties, with suggestions to suit children from 5 through to 15 years – though to be honest, even adults would have a laugh with the games in this collection!
They also make fun youth group games, and can be easily adapted as indoor games for class groups.
1. Musical Statues Start the music and everyone dances until the music stops playing (out of view of the children, hit the pause button), then they freeze in position. Anyone still moving when the music stops playing or who moves while the music is off is out for that round. The final person dancing is the winner.
2. Musical Bobs Proceed like Musical Statues (see instructions above) except this time the children must bob down when the music stops. Last person to hit the floor is out. Last person dancing is the winner!
3. Musical Buddies Proceed like Musical Statues (see instructions above) but this time call out a number when the music stops. Children must form groups with that number of people in them. Anyone not in a group, or the last group to form, is out.
4. Poison Apple This is also a great game for a princess or witch/wizard themed party. Have the children stand in a circle and pass an apple from person to person around the circle as the music plays. When the music stops, the person holding the ‘posion’ apple pretends to take a bite and then falls to the ground, pretending to fall into a deep sleep, bewitched by the poison. The winner of the game is the person who performs the most dramatic collapse to the floor!
5. You’ve Got Moves! This is a fun dancing memory game. Children start out standing in a circle. A person is chosen to go first and they perform one cool dance move. The next person along performs the first dance move and then adds a move of their own. The game continues around the circle, with the sequence of dance moves becoming longer and harder to remember as play progresses. Any player who forgets the sequence is out of the game and sits down. The winner is the last dancer standing!
6. Pass the Parcel Pass the Parcel is a classic kids party game that is hugely popular with younger party goers. You can find full instructions for how to play in our Classic Kids Party Games collection.
7. Lip Syncing competition You’ll need access to a music streaming platform, like Spotify, and two pretend microphones for this game. Divide party guests into pairs. Each team chooses a popular song to perform. Give teams a few minutes to prepare their routine, encouraging them to think about dance moves and facial expressions. Teams take turns performing their songs for the other party guests. The winning team can be decided by an adult nominated as judge or you could monitor audience reaction and applause to choose the most popular performance.
8. Air Guitar competition Put on your favourite rock or heavy metal song and invite guests to showcase their best air guitar skills! The winner is the performer who does the best job pretending to play their imaginary rock guitar.
9. Disco Dress Up Relay Divide party guests into equal teams of four or five players. Each team will require a set of 4-5 large sized disco themed dress ups that are easy to put on and take off – for example, a sequined headband, glitter hat or curly wig, a pair of sunglasses, large costume jewelry, a paisley shirt, a stretchy miniskirt, etc.
Divide each team into two lines, facing each other across a short running distance. Place the pile of dress ups in front of the first team member for each team. On ‘Go’ the first team member must put on all of the dress up clothes (over their regular clothes) and then race to their next team member, taking off the dress up clothes once there for the next player to put on. The race continues until all team members have had a turn to dress up and run. First team with their final team member across the finish line is the winner.
10. Musical Costumes Have children sit or stand in a circle. As the music plays, the children pass around a bag of random costume pieces – glasses, hats, gloves, wigs, boas, etc. When the music stops the person holding the bag, takes out an item from the bag and puts it on. The person wearing the wackiest costume at the end of the game is the winner.
11. Limbo One classic music party games has to be Limbo! You will need a broomstick (or similar) to act as the limbo pole. Two people (one either end) need to hold the pole horizontally to the floor at about chest height. Pop on your favourite tunes, line players up and have them take turns to dance under the limbo pole without knocking or touching it – if you touch it, you’re out. Players must lean backwards, not forwards, as they pass under the pole. Once all the players are through, the pole is dropped about an inch and the players again must pass under the pole without touching it. The last player dancing is the winner.

12. Musical Balloon Up Prepare for this game by blowing up a series of balloons, each with a single dance challenge written onto a small piece of paper inserted before inflating. Challenges might include actions, like performing a specific dance move, and trivia questions related to music. To play, put on some music and have the children bop the balloon to keep it up in the air until the music stops. The last person to touch the balloon pops it and then performs the challenge included inside.
13. Name that Singer! Divide guests into teams. Each team will need enough sheets of paper to complete the number of rounds you decide to include in the competition and a marker pen. Either read out the title of a well known song, or play the first few bars of the song. Teams talk quietly to agree the singer and write their choice on a piece of paper. When prompted, teams reveal their answers. Each correct answer scores a point for that team. The team with the most points at the end of the competition is the winner.
Alternatively, this game can be played as Name that Song! (teams write down the name of the song) or Finish the Lyrics (teams write down the next line of the song).
14. Dance Battle We couldn’t have a list of music party games without a dance battle! Have everyone stand around the designated ‘dance floor.’ Two guests dance into the middle of the dance floor, competing against each other by simultaneously performing their own freestyle solo dance. A winner is chosen and then the next pair competes. Continue until all pairs have competed and then have the winners dance off against each other until there are only two dancers competing for the ultimate title of Dance Battle Winner!
15. Music Trivia Divide guests into teams to compete in your very own Music Trivia Quiz Competition. Each team will need a pad of paper and a pencil to record their answers to the quiz questions. Determine the number of rounds, and questions in each round, before the party. Teams work together to answer a series of music trivia questions, recording their answers as they go. The team that answers the most questions correctly are the winners. You can find a series of kid friendly music trivia questions here.

If you are thinking about hosting or entertaining a birthday party at home, prepare a set of birthday party activities that can make your event a hit without having to spend any extra money on supplies. For younger children, red rover, hot potato, or musical chairs are fun party games. For another birthday party idea: Think about a scavenger hunt, which is tons of fun for all age levels.
Some birthday party games might require a few supplies, but they’re everyday objects you probably already have lying around your house. It’s OK to improvise if you have a similar thing (for instance, you don’t have a potato, but you have a carrot). A slight variation gives a new twist. Chances are your guests won’t notice, but it’ll be humorous if they do.
For younger kids, activities like face painting, playing a sport, or erecting a ball pit can also make for a fun birthday party at home. If you’re going to be the one to host a birthday party, it’s best to get organized with a checklist, set a date, make an invite list, and square away the plans for food, birthday cake, and more.
Look at this list of easy, inexpensive birthday party activities that are great for kids, teens, and adults, provided you make some age-related modifications.

This is one of the easiest birthday party activities to start because it just requires the participants—no props or money involved. However, it gets hard quickly. To play this game, instruct the guests to do something, but they have to do the opposite in order to stay in the game.

You can even combine this game with a Simon Says type of game by having them watch you act something out but they have to do the opposite.

25 fun games for the birthday boy and his guests
Children’s birthday is a wonderful occasion to feel like a magician and give the birthday boy and his guests a real journey into a fairy tale. The easiest way to arrange a holiday for a child is to hire professional animators, but the kid will like and remember the time spent with his parents much more than with a stranger, albeit an expert in his field. In addition, animators and guest hosts do not always know the birthday boy and the team well and therefore cannot take into account individual characteristics when writing a script for games for children.
All competitions and games must be prepared taking into account the age of the guests and the birthday person. You can separate the games for boys and girls, but the ideal option is when the competition is suitable for all participants, regardless of their gender.
Toddlers will like simple and moving games more. Preschoolers are more diligent, so they can be offered several games for attentiveness and ingenuity. Children of primary school age will enjoy quizzes and board games. In any case, you need to alternate outdoor games with calm entertainment.

Stages of preparing a children’s holiday
Organizing a children’s party is actually not that difficult. To do this, you need to perform several actions:
Decorate the room. Balloons, flags, streamers with inscriptions, funny photos of the birthday man or images with his favorite fairy-tale / cartoon characters can be used as decoration.
Set the table. No need to cook roasts, mayonnaise salads and numerous snacks. Children will appreciate the sweet table and fruit cuts. Of course, the head of the table is a birthday cake (always with candles, because blowing them out is a fun tradition that every child looks forward to on their birthday). It is recommended to use festive dishes with funny drawings. Firstly, this way the table will look more elegant. Secondly, children will not be afraid to break a plate or glass. Thirdly, it will save parents from having to wash mountains of dirty dishes after the holiday is over.
Prepare gifts. You can not just give gifts to the birthday man, but arrange a real quest to find presents and even connect all the guests to it. If all the invited children will participate in the quest, it is worth preparing a small gift for each of them.
Pick up games for children on their birthday.
You need to prepare especially carefully for the last point, because children will quickly get bored of sitting at the table, they will quickly want to move around and have fun.
Don’t forget the prizes for the winners of the contest. It can be various little things (soap bubbles, funny key rings, stickers, children’s stationery, etc.) or sweets.
Birthday games at home
If you wish and carefully prepare at home, you can arrange a holiday that will be no worse than an event in the game room. Moreover, the birthday boy will feel more comfortable in his native walls, a familiar environment is the best remedy for shyness.
To prepare fun home games for a child’s birthday, parents need only a little enthusiasm, a minimum of time and organizational skills, but a great desire to please their child on his long-awaited holiday.
1. Fanta
Number of players: unlimited.
Props: hat, vase, box or other container, notes with tasks, forfeits (personal items of all participants).
Age of children: 5+
A game familiar to absolutely everyone. One leader is chosen, who turns his back to all the players. The second presenter chooses a phantom and asks: “What should this phantom do?”. The first leader takes out a note with the task from the hat and reads it aloud. If the first leader is an adult with imagination, then you can do without notes and come up with tasks on the go. Tasks should be simple (crow a rooster, jump on one leg, etc.).
Another variant of this entertainment can be the game of camomile. The essence is about the same, but the tasks are written on the petals of a large chamomile. Each participant tears off a petal at random and performs the task that has fallen to him.
2. “Painted figure”
Number of participants: unlimited, but must be even so that participants can pair up.
Requisite: no.
Age of children: 5+
Participants are divided into pairs, each pair performs in turn. One player from a pair “draws” some figure / animal / plant with his finger on the back of the second. The second participant with a “drawn” figure must depict it. The pair that guessed correctly shows the next one. The winner is the pair whose figures guessed the most.
3. “Self-portrait”
Number of participants: unlimited.
Props: whatman paper with slots for hands, paints, brushes, water.
Children age: 4+
The participant puts his hands in the slots of the paper. Next, he needs to blindly draw a self-portrait. The winner is the one whose drawing will be as close as possible to the original. This is a very funny competition that will amuse the participants watching the artist a lot.
Table games
When the pizza is eaten and the candles are blown out on the cake, you can arrange table games for the children at the birthday party. The peculiarity of these entertainments is that they are held right at the table, you do not need to get up and move actively. As a rule, table games include quizzes, riddles, tasks for ingenuity, memory and thinking.
4. Remember Your Neighbor
Number of participants: unlimited.
Requisite: no.
Age of children: 7+
A game that perfectly develops memory. Children are invited to look at each other for a few minutes. Then they are blindfolded in turn and asked questions: “What color is the hair of the neighbor on the left?”, “How many buttons are on the jacket of the neighbor on the right?”, “The color of the eyes of the person sitting opposite?” etc.
5. Magic Letter
Number of participants: unlimited.
Requisite: no.
Children age: 6+
The host offers a letter. All guests must name items that begin with this letter that are in the room. Whoever has the last word wins.
DIY board games for children
6. Nonsense
Number of participants: unlimited.
Props: sheet of A4 paper, several ballpoint pens.
Age of children: 8+
The first participant writes on the sheet a phrase that will be the beginning of a common story. Then the player wraps the sheet in such a way that the writing is not visible. He transfers the last word from his phrase to the beginning of the next line and passes the sheet to the next participant, who must continue the story.
Example: the first player writes: “Once Vaska came to school.” He wraps the sheet and writes again the last word: “school”, from which the second participant is repelled. He continues: “Aliens attacked the school yesterday.” The phrase is wrapped, the last word is wrapped on a blank line, etc.
Music games
What a holiday without music! The celebration may end with a regular disco with popular children’s hits, but during the holiday, musical accompaniment will be needed for entertaining birthday games.
Parents need to prepare a playlist and playback device in advance. It is also worth making sure that all the dancers have enough space to demonstrate their choreographic talents.
7. “Indistinct singing”
Number of participants: unlimited.
Requisite: no.
Age of children: 6+
A song is chosen that all participants know well. At the command of the leader, the children begin to sing loudly in chorus. When the host claps his hands, the participants continue to sing, but they do it to themselves, after the next clap – again loudly. The one of the participants who goes astray and does not get in time with the rest is out. The game continues until the song is completed or until one player remains.
8. “Dance with the face”
Number of participants: unlimited.
Requisite: no.
Age of children: 6+
The facilitator selects some fragments of cheerful songs. Participants are invited to perform an impromptu dance to them, but with one condition – you can “dance” only with facial expressions. The winner is the one who managed to portray the funniest pantomime.
9. “Dance with tasks”
Number of participants: unlimited.
Requisite: no.
Age of children: 6+
All participants dance to the music, like in a regular disco. The host periodically announces some tasks (dance on one leg, take the neighbor on the right by the nose, dance in threes, move like a hare / snake / monkey, do a round dance, etc.).
10. Music Freeze
Number of participants: unlimited.
Requisite: no.
Age of children: 5+
Participants dance as they wish. When the music stops, everyone freezes in the pose of a fairy tale hero, animal, cartoon character. The host must guess who the players represent. All guessed figures are eliminated, after which the game continues.
Outdoor games
Children of all ages love various activities. Outdoor games for children at a birthday party are usually the guests’ favorite. The main thing is that all entertainment is safe.
Adults need to carefully monitor the participants: naughty children can accidentally injure themselves or others (push, fall, stuff a bump, etc.). The room should have enough space for movement, it is also better to remove all breaking and fragile objects from there, move furniture with sharp corners away.
11. “Who am I?”
Number of participants: unlimited.
Props: blindfold.
Age of children: 5+
The leader is selected. He is blindfolded. The guests rush in all directions, and the host must catch one of them and, with his eyes closed, determine who exactly he got. If the presenter guesses correctly, then the caught guest takes his place. The game will be more interesting if the host asks the person who fell into his hands to complete some task that will help establish his identity (sing a song, portray an animal, for example, grunt, etc.).
Outdoor games for children at home
12. “Water Carriers”
Number of participants: unlimited, but even, so that children can be divided into two teams.
Props: two toy buckets of the same volume.
Age of children: 4+
Teams line up in two lines. The first participants are given a bucket of water. Their task is to run with a bucket to the start, then go back and pass the container to the next participant, who will repeat the race. When all participants run the relay, the leader will compare the amount of water in the buckets. The winner is the team that not only overtook the rivals, but also splashed as little liquid as possible.
13. Balloon War
Number of participants: unlimited.
Props: chairs and as many balloons as possible.
Age of children: 2+
A partition is made of chairs in the room. Teams are located on opposite sides of the barricade. At the command of the leader, both teams begin to throw balloons to the side of the enemy. When the “Stop!” command sounds, the game ends and the balls are counted. The team with the fewest balls on their side wins.
Games with parents
Despite the fact that most of the guests are children, and the hero of the celebration is a birthday child, adults do not have to stay away from the fun. Parents can also take part in competitions. Moreover, why not compete with children (of course, succumbing to them quite a bit).

Photo puzzles
Number of participants: unlimited.
Props: A4 photos, cut into several pieces. It is advisable to take different photos of the birthday boy with friends.
Age of children: 5+
Participants are divided into two teams – adults and children. Each team gets their own “puzzle”. The team that completes the picture the fastest wins.

Children’s birthday games and competitions
Home Blog Children’s birthday games and competitions
The happiest days in a parent’s life are those that are unforgettable. These include, first of all, the birthday of their child. However, the older the child, the more difficult it is to prepare a good holiday for him. Usually preparing for a party is troublesome, but at the same time pleasant. Choose a gift for the hero of the occasion, create beautiful and bright invitations for his friends, buy a cake with candles or make it yourself, hang balloons everywhere, choose games, entertainment for the child and his comrades … And, perhaps, this is not the whole list. And the most ambitious task among all this is the preparation of competitions.
How to prepare contests for children’s name days?
When selecting contests for children for birthdays , , first of all, you should take into account the age of the birthday person and friends invited to the celebration. This is understandable, because it makes no sense to take games for 5-year-olds when a 10-year-old child has a birthday. Contests should be interesting for the baby, so that at the end of a busy day of celebration he will have only pleasant impressions. By the way, you don’t have to come up with contests yourself. And why do it at all, when everything is already there. It is enough just to make a selection of those games that the child and his friends will definitely like, creating a so-called entertainment program that provides for participation alone and in teams. You can not think about this at all, but simply invite a good animator. A cheerful adult presenter will be able to organize a children’s party so that each of its participants has fun, from the birthday boy to all his guests. Moreover, the celebration can be either thematic (cosmetic, pirate theme, etc.) or ordinary.
Birthday contests for preschool children
If we talk about games for preschool children, then the most suitable ones are those that include competitions. Therefore, it is worth giving preference to those entertainments where you need to divide into teams. They are very exciting for the child, give him vivid emotions and allow him to expend a large amount of energy.
It is possible, for example, to include the “Hit in the Hat” contest in the program.
Children need to stand in a circle, and then the leader puts a hat on one of them.
When the music begins to play, the participant in the hat needs to turn around and place the props with his hand on the head of his neighbor.
This is how the transmission is carried out in a circle.
At times the music stops playing.
As soon as this happens, the person with the hat on his head is eliminated from the competition.
It is not necessary to use a hat for the competition.
Other props are also suitable, such as a ball.
The use of a small chair is also allowed, but then the children will alternately sit on it and pass it to the next participant.
Let the game not be divided into teams, but still exciting.
Name-day entertainment for children from 6 to 10 years old
A child of this age and his friends will find entertainment that requires effort. Moreover, it does not matter: whether it is necessary to think over any logical problem well or apply physical force – everything will be of great interest. They no longer like simple games, because they want to be recognized as adults and able to cope with tasks of any complexity.
One suitable type of competition is the Verbal Duel.
The facilitator preliminarily creates cards where the words are written upside down, that is, confused.
Participants are divided into 2 teams (more can be done).
Team captains are given the right to put their hand into the container and pull out a card.
Then each group has to decipher their word.
Who will cope faster, he won.
Children’s birthday contests for teenagers
Teenagers are the most active people. Often people believe that to organize a holiday for their already more or less adult son or daughter, a good table with a variety of dishes and a special place where you can dance to your favorite music will be enough. However, this opinion is erroneous.
A teenager, like a younger child, loves competitions and does not mind taking part in them alone or in a team. True, something youthful, cheerful and, if possible, mobile should be selected.
You can, for example, include the “Try to Hit” contest in the program.
Within its framework, one participant, taking a stick with an inflated balloon tied to it, stands at the far side of the room, while the second participant is located at the opposite end of the room, taking a dart with him.
The first participant drives a stick with a ball so that it is constantly in motion, and the second must try to throw the “tool” so as to hit the target and burst it.
In case of hit, the child receives a prize.
If you failed to burst the balloon, you will have to grant a wish.

Popular birthday games
The interesting contest “Smart Monkeys” is very popular.
Participants in this case can be arbitrarily, but not less than 2.
First, everyone humbly sits on chairs or sofas and humbly listens to the facilitator’s story, aimed at making the participants imbued with the atmosphere of the tropical forests, where many monkeys live.
He then introduces the participants as the most agile monkeys in the pack.
After that, each of them is given a chair with a banana on it.
The point is to clean it and eat it faster than your opponents without using your hands.
Also often at children’s parties there are “Eskimo Blind Man’s Bluffs”.
To begin with, the host chooses one of the participants as the driver and puts thicker mittens on his hands, and also blindfolds.
Further, other players come up to this participant in turn, and he must understand by touch who exactly is in front of him.
If the identification of the participant was successful, then he becomes the next driver.
Well, how not to remember the “Broken phone”.
Participants put chairs in a circle, sit down.
It all starts with the leader whispering a word or phrase to one of the participants.
He, in turn, must repeat what he heard, also in a whisper in the ear of his neighbor, and so on in a chain.
When the last player receives the information, he must say out loud what he heard, and then it is compared with the original phrase.
After that, the host sits at the end of the chain, and now the next player comes up with a phrase.
Mind games
We ate, danced, and now it’s time to think. In this regard, intellectual games prepared for the birthday will help.
These may include, for example, puzzles with matches, in which you need to rearrange a certain number of matches in order to get the correct example or a picture that has a different meaning (a number has turned into a letter, an arrow has changed direction, etc. ). This is a great option for team competition.
You can also use flip pictures.
These are images that, if turned upside down, their meaning changes dramatically. You can show the children from one angle, and then ask them to think about what would be shown in the picture if it was turned upside down. You can simply cut the image into pieces, divide the children into teams, and ask each to collect it.
Board games
Board games are something that can really captivate not only children of all ages, but also adults. It is enough just to start the game, and the time behind it will pass unnoticed. And every minute of the gaming session will be filled with joy and fun.
There is a huge range of table entertainment to suit all tastes. And yet one of the most popular and to this day is Monopoly – a kind of economic simulator. Those games that are made based on famous games, films, cartoons are also constantly famous.
Outdoor games
This type of games is suitable for the audience that does not like to sit on chairs for a long time, but prefers to stretch their muscles. They are especially popular among teenagers as they usually have a lot of energy.
If you want birthday games for kids to be moving, you should take care of the fun in advance and buy, for example, Twister.
It consists of two elements: a rug with colored circles and a special tape measure with sectors with different limbs and colors.
The presenter rotates the roulette wheel sequentially for each of the participants, and they, in turn, must place the indicated part of the body exactly on the circle of the color that fell out. Moreover, 2 limbs cannot be located on the same circle at once.
You can also play balloon volleyball.
For this entertainment, the players must be divided into 2 teams.
After measuring a distance of 1 meter, place one chair opposite each other.
Players must sit on them.
The floor is divided in the middle with a rope.
Next, the children play volleyball.
It is important that the ball flew over the rope.
When beating it, you can not get up from the chair or take the props in your hands.
Only repulsion of the ball is allowed.
The team receives a point if the ball falls on the opponent’s territory.
The game is suitable for children 4-12 years old.
Joint competitions for children and adults
Who said that only children can participate in competitions? Nothing like that: you can play together. There are many interesting entertainments that are equally well suited for both children and adults. Most importantly, it’s great to have fun with friends.
For example, you can play Firemen.
For this you will need 2 jackets and 2 chairs.
Turn the sleeves inside out and hang them on the backrests.
Place a rope at least 2 meters long under the chairs.
Both competitors must position themselves next to their chairs.
As soon as the presenter gives the signal, they should grab the jackets with their hands, turn the sleeves back, put on and fasten all the buttons.
Having finished with the clothes, you should run around the opponent’s chair and sit on your own, and at the end pull the rope.
Whoever does all this first wins.
Players may wear other clothing such as shirts.
As you can see, there are enough different contests and games, and you can participate in them both alone and in the company of friends.

Birthday games for kids – the best options for a holiday scenario
January 28, 2022
Preparations for a children’s birthday should begin long before the holiday date. Of course, you can just give the child a suitable gift, call his friends and seat him at the set table. But in this case, the birthday will be boring!
Birthday games for children – options for a holiday scenario
The most optimal solution is to use the services of professional animators. However, many children, especially toddlers, prefer to spend time with loving parents and friends than to communicate with strangers, even professionals. Birthday contests for children are held by professional animators at a high level, but there are some nuances here.
Animator services are expensive, and there are not so many real pros. It should be taken into account the fact that a stranger does not know the birthday man, his character, interests and temperament. Animators work according to the standard scenario, taking into account only the age group. This does not mean at all that you can not invite animators. But you can just do it yourself if you make an effort and use our advice.
When planning an event, one should take into account the individual characteristics of the child, his age, interests, temperament.
Birthday contests for children. The main rules of a successful holiday:
All games and the competitive program must correspond to the age of the birthday person and his friends invited to the holiday.
Competitions can be both separate for girls and boys, and general.
Regardless of the games and competitions you have chosen, and the division of children into gender groups, the program must necessarily include general competitions. This is the ideal option.
Different contests should be selected – outdoor games for children’s birthdays at home, intellectual contests, table games, music contests, etc. They should alternate. But between competitions should take breaks. Games with children at the table are very appropriate, but too rich a holiday program will tire children, regardless of age. If you notice that the children are tired or the interest in competitions has decreased, invite the children to play together and give them freedom. Then you can start implementing the holiday scenario again.
Consider where the child’s birthday is celebrated. You can arrange a meeting in the apartment, in nature, in a children’s cafe. For each situation, you should choose your scenario in advance.
Properly chosen by parents birthday contests for children are an excellent opportunity to show your son or daughter your care, attention, indifference. The child will appreciate it, we assure you!
Competitions at home for children. Stages of preparing a children’s party
Organizing a children’s party is not such a difficult task as it might seem at first glance. Use our hint and you will succeed! First, complete all the preparatory activities in stages, and then hold children’s birthday contests for the child that you select in advance.
So let’s get started!
1. Decorate the room.
Use holiday paraphernalia – children’s balloons, multi-colored flags, pre-prepared birthday greetings, etc. You can find a lot of interesting ideas on the net. For example, decorate the room with funny photos of the birthday boy or order posters and posters of his image along with your favorite characters from books, fairy tales and cartoons.
2. Set the table.
Filling the table tightly with salads, mayonnaise and fur coats is not a good idea. Children do not need kebabs, grilled chicken, roasts and lots of cuts and snacks. If you do not plan to cook yourself, use the services of food delivery for the holidays. Serious companies choose the right children’s menu. Children will appreciate such a table, and you will not get tired and will be able to hold contests for children on their birthday at a high level.
Only a sweet table can be made. In this case, take care of tasty and healthy drinks (preferably not Coca-Cola and sweet sodas), sweets, cakes, fruits. Confectionery products can also be ordered by professionals. Don’t waste your money on a birthday cake! It should be luxurious – tasty and healthy. Don’t forget about the beautiful tradition of blowing out the candles. This moment is waiting for any child, regardless of age.
We recommend using beautiful and bright tableware and festive dishes. It sets the mood and the table looks elegant. But the dishes should not be fragile and break easily. If you don’t want to wash a mountain of dirty dishes, you can find beautiful disposable dishes with a fun pattern.
3. Preparing gifts.
Of course, you can just give a present to a birthday person. But it will be more interesting if you turn birthday gifts into a quest. For example – offer to find a gift according to the clues. To search for a gift or several presents, you can connect the child’s friends invited to the holiday.
Please note: so that the children do not feel offended that the birthday boy received a gift, but they did not, prepare small gifts for everyone. They can also be handed out with fiction – to the music, in the form of a quest – at the prompts (sign the gifts in advance). Just buy each of the guests the same presents, for example, curly gingerbread. Or pick up the same gifts – for all the girls a small doll, for the boys – a typewriter.
4. We select birthday games for children.
This is perhaps the most serious stage. You have to prepare very carefully. Please note that children will not be able to sit at the table for several hours. They get bored quickly. There will be a desire to move, to play. Arguments and quarrels may begin. If you do not take the process into your own hands, the situation will get out of control. And the holiday can be hopelessly spoiled.
Children’s birthday contests. Don’t forget about prizes for participants!
Don’t forget the small prizes for the winners of children’s competitions. Cute little things that all children love so much can serve as gifts:
Rainbow bubbles.
Bright keyrings.
Baby stickers, etc.
You can just buy candies and put them in a nice closed box. The winner of each competition is awarded with a sweet.
Birthday entertainment for children. Child psychologist advice
Don’t forget about the main task of any competition – to give young guests the opportunity to express themselves. If a child is eager to take part in the competition, do not interfere with him, if he is shy – do not insist, do not force the child, but give him all kinds of support. Perhaps when a child who is quiet and calm by nature gets a little comfortable, he will overcome his shyness.
How to hold contests for children’s birthday?
In any case, do not focus on the problem and do not involve other children in active persuasion. All children on a name day should feel comfortable. For example, quieter children tend to be more willing to participate in charade contests.
Also remember the goal – a holiday should be a holiday. Your task is to create a free, friendly, fun atmosphere.

Remember – the main thing is that the children have fun, do not try to do everything perfectly, strictly following the script.
Games for the little ones (from 2 years old)
Congratulations arch
It is good to play this game at the very beginning of the holiday, so that the birthday person and all the guests feel and remember who the hero of the celebration is today. We turn on pleasant music, we combine the children in twos, taking into account their height, we place them facing each other, you need to join your hands and raise them up to make an arch (tunnel). The birthday boy passes through this arch to the deafening and simultaneous “Happy birthday! HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH!”.
Unusual greeting
Do you know how penguins greet each other? Head to head (depict).
So now we will greet each other in an unusual way. We combine children in pairs (as you like, you can with adults). And we call the way they should say hello: nose to nose, finger to stomach, head to back, knee to elbow. Each time we increase the pace. When we say: you come to me, we must change places (we remind the children every time so as not to get confused). We must stand with those with whom we have not stood before. Elbow-back again, fist-knee, ear-hand, etc. We spend until the children are in pairs with everyone, constantly increasing the pace.
Cat and Mouse
A game that little ones love. You will be the cat and the children will be the mice. You need to make a house for the mouse (a hoop or a small rug, you can make a circle out of a rope). We turn on fun music (or you can do without it, it will still be very fun). At first, the cat sleeps, you pretend, you can even snore, the children at this time run around at ease, play where they want. And then the cat wakes up and goes hunting, the children at this time must have time to hide in the house so that the cat does not catch them. You can give everyone the opportunity to hide, or you can catch someone for real (for children over 4 years old), then they become a cat. This game is very fun if you use an ordinary umbrella as a prop, and the children will act as butterflies that frolic in the clearing. But now the presenter reports that it’s raining and opens the umbrella, the children should rather hide under the umbrella (suitable for small companies)
Pathfinders
Divide the players into 2 teams, give each team only two cards cut out in the form of tiger or wolf footprints. It is necessary to overcome 4-5 meters (as much as space allows), transferring body weight on one leg, while the second team member (preferably an adult) rearranges the cardboard for the next step.
Filming a video!
Stock up on a video camera or free up enough space on your smartphone. It is better if you do not shoot, but someone else. This is something that will remain in memory and will delight you and the child for a long time. Prepare your child’s favorite song (you can from the cartoon, it is important that it be in Russian). You will need soap bubbles or confetti (stock 2 jars).
Be sure to ask the parents to participate, they will blow bubbles, standing on both sides of the children, i.e. towards each other.
The task of the children is to portray, as best they can, what is sung in the song (you show movements that are better thought out in advance, so that you cannot be seen in the camera)
Blanket with a bottle
There is a bottle of water on the blanket. All participants must take hold of the blanket and complete a series of tasks, but on the condition that the bottle does not fall. For example, raise the blanket from the ground to head level, walk to the right, sit down with the blanket, jump.
Balloon in zero gravity
The balloon must be held in zero gravity by each participant. Only two people can hold the ball at the same time, only for 3 seconds and only by holding it between the chest (later on, back, forehead, knees). If the ball falls during execution, then it starts all over again.
Cheerful orchestra
A homemade orchestra using rattling and rustling objects is always fun at a children’s party. It’s easy and great to use yellow plastic eggs from Kinder Surprise, filled with cereals, beans or coins. First, each child will make a rattle to his taste (parents can help the kids here), and then organize a home orchestra.
Note that each “instrument” has its own sound. Give the children the rattles they made, let them remind them of your holiday. Limbo All you need is a rope or ribbon, which is pulled by adults, and energetic music. One by one, all the guests pass under a rope stretched at the level of the chin of one of the adults. Then we lower it by 20 cm. Again, everyone, dancing, passes. We omit. And further.
both children and adults participate in our game, at the end there will be the smallest two-year-old dancers. Don’t forget to capture the fun on camera!
Dryer beads
Children only. 2 children compete at the same time. We put a plate with 10 dryers in front of each and give a rope or ribbon in our hand. Who will make a necklace out of all dryers faster? You need to take one.
Fun contests for children aged 5-8
General postcard
Draw a birthday card with your guests. You will need bright felt-tip pens, colored helium pens, sparkles, stickers, pencils that you can find at home. Unleash your creativity, and you can suggest a theme and wishes for the birthday man: a smiling sun, a blue sky, unusual flowers and animals/cartoon characters. These cards can remind the child of a joyful event for a long time. For older children (who can already write), you can make a large congratulatory poster on whatman paper, pasting photos of the birthday man and his friends there in advance and asking the children to write wishes to the birthday man, younger guests can draw their wishes.
The most attentive
The driver asks all the players to turn away and count to 20, and at the same time he attaches clothespins to everything that catches his eye: to a blanket, lamp, books, soft toys, plants (20-30 pieces are enough). We turn on cheerful music: the one who has collected the most clothespins receives a prize and gets the opportunity to hide all the clothespins himself.
Air Attack
Inflate 10-20 normal balloons (5-10 each of two different colors). Create two teams. Divide the room into two equal parts with a rope or masking tape, arrange the teams opposite each other. Each team is given 5 balls. While the music is playing, you need to transfer the balls to the side of the opponent. It’s not very easy, because your opponents return your balls! As soon as the music stops, the players stop the fight. We count balls. The team with the fewest balls on their side wins. Usually the game is played up to three wins.
Dance with felt-tip pens
We give each participant a felt-tip pen, it is necessary to hold it between the pads of the index fingers, while doing the tasks. Step right, step left, crouch, make a wide circle, raise your arms, jump, etc.
Disco
Learn a few simple dance moves ahead of time. Offer the kids a fun disco! While the music is playing, the guys will repeat the movements of those who are wearing a hat or with a ball (or with a garland). Movements should be not only simple, but also funny, often repetitive. At first, the leading adults, and then the children, the parents repeat after them.
Forest orchestra
You can make an animal orchestra: let each child be some kind of animal (it is important that it can make sounds, so a fox is not suitable ;)). You, as a conductor, touch the child, and he enters (meows, quacks, growls, etc.), then the next one, increase the pace. At the end, all the children-animals sound together.
Games for children aged 8-11
Almost all of the above games are suitable for children of this age (except for cats and mice, beads made of dryers, orchestra and greedy). We offer 4 more games:
Hamsters
It sounds very childish, but children even at 12 years old play it with pleasure, if it is interesting to beat. We make a riddle for children about a hamster: who likes to hide all the food behind their cheeks. When you guessed it, we ask who the hamsters are afraid of. Of course, cats!
You say that when there is no cat, hamsters have fun and name what children will imitate, how they tumble, jump over each other, dance. But then, you say, a CAT appears. As soon as the children hear this word, they should stand in a circle facing inward and grab each other (shoulders). And you walk in circles and try to “pull out” someone. Children must hold tightly so that the cat does not eat anyone. It is carried out 2-3 times. Each time, the word CAT should be uttered at an unexpected moment (but then they saw … a gopher who was looking at the moon, and behind him was a CAT!)
Can be performed using any character: shark, dinosaur, spy, etc.
Do you know the birthday boy?
Ask guests if they know the birthday boy well. If they say it’s great (and most kids will), let them know what needs to be checked.
You ask a birthday person a question, to which he only has to answer yes or no. For example, do you have a favorite color? The hero of the celebration should not name the color, but only confirm that yes, there is. Then everyone takes turns guessing what color it is in their opinion. One player, one answer. When everyone has spoken, we ask the birthday man what color he likes. Who guessed it, pats himself on the head, and who doesn’t, performs some task from the birthday man.
Unleash the children’s imagination. Let the hero of the occasion become a couturier for a while. Children love to dress up and imitate adults. You only need to prepare a variety of ribbons, paper, handkerchiefs, scarves, tape, paper clips and safety scissors. The courier dresses up the guys according to his taste (mummies, pirates, flowers, princesses, sorcerers, etc.). If the boys are embarrassed to participate, they can be made members of the jury.
Prince, princess and dragon
We have not met children who would not appreciate this game. To tell the truth, adults also play it with pleasure, and sometimes they get so carried away that they don’t notice how one and a half to two hours have passed.
The essence is simple: we divide the players into 2 teams. The host announces that there are 3 roles in this game: a prince who waves a sword (depict a simple movement so that everyone repeats it), a princess who bows (crouching while holding an imaginary dress) and a dragon who opens her mouth wide and growls (spread two hands up and down).
The prince defeats the dragon, the dragon defeats the prince, and the princess charms the prince by defeating him.
Each team secretly chooses who it will be in this round.
At the expense of “3” teams, standing opposite each other, “attack”.
It is important that all team members show the same character. The host monitors this, even if one of the team showed another hero, then this team is awarded a defeat in this round. You can play up to 3 points, or until you get bored

Fun and simple contests for children’s birthday
Fun and easy kids birthday contests
Who didn’t love their own birthday as a child? This is the day when all the closest and dearest gather, friends come, give a bunch of gifts, cut a delicious cake. These are the most fun and vivid memories of childhood, and to make them even brighter, parents need to work out a script for a children’s holiday, birthday contests. The main thing is not just to meet guests and sit at the table, but also to entertain them, giving the child and his friends the opportunity to unite even more, have fun to the fullest and remember this day as the best in life. But what contests are needed for a children’s birthday? We will offer you many options, and when choosing, be sure to consider the age of the children, and choose the most interesting games for everyone present. 9Ol000 Games
Intellectual competitions at the table are good because they help parents save the house from the mess and destruction that naughty preschoolers threaten him with. Of course, children will not be able to captivate such fun for a long time, but for a while they will be “neutralized”, at the same time, watching their games will help parents learn something new about their child.
The simplest birthday contests for children can be represented by riddles that can be chosen for any age:
“Guess what I see”
find this item in the room.
Pantomime competition
An adult or a child imitates something or someone, and the rest of the children must understand what or who it is.
“What has disappeared?”
Place several objects on the floor, sofa or chair, which children must look at for a while, after which they must turn away, and an adult removes one of the objects. After that, the children again look at the “exposition” and must remember what has disappeared from here.
Fairy tale quiz
Fairy tale quiz is also one of the interesting competitions for children’s birthday. Here you need to come up with a series of questions about famous nursery rhymes, cartoons and fairy tales, and provide prizes for correct answers – toys, chocolate medals, etc.
Board games
Mini contests for children can be represented by favorite board games that the whole family loves to play. Although in our time they have been supplanted by tablets and cartoons, it is quite possible to find a place for them at a children’s holiday: which is thrown with a dice. These games are good for companies, children of different ages can participate in them. In addition, in modern games, the chips are made unusual, and the manufacturers accompany the games with exciting tasks.
Flashcards
Fun and colorful games are now available for children of all ages. With them you can play Shuffle, Dobble, Doubles, Memory and many other games – everything that can be found on the Internet.
Guess What You Eat
This delicious game is suitable for all ages. Children are asked to close their eyes and taste something edible that an adult puts into their open mouths. This is a very funny contest, because it turns out that it is not so easy to determine the taste of a dish without seeing it.
Outdoor games
“Cold-hot”
The game is a kind of classic hide-and-seek. An adult hides some toy in the room, and the task of the children is to find it, following the clues from the words “cold” and “hot”.
“Magic Tunnel”
For this game you will need a children’s tunnel, but it may well be replaced by a small table or chair that a child can crawl under. His task is not just to climb into the tunnel, but to get out of there in a new guise, portraying someone: an animal or a fairy-tale character. Other children must guess who it is that got out of the magic tunnel. The one who guesses correctly goes into the magical tunnel himself.
Ball games
Children’s birthday contests for 4 years include good old fun, in which tasks for erudition, quick wit, fun and moving elements were combined. So, in the game “edible-inedible”, the leader seats the children in a row and, in turn, throws a ball to each child, pronouncing the word. If the word means an edible object, then the ball must be caught, and if it is inedible, then push it back with your hands. In another version, the children stand in a circle, and the leader throws a ball to one of them and asks them to name a color, fruit, vegetable or flower. Children need to simultaneously catch the ball and remember the appropriate object.
Role-playing games
Children most of all love it when 6-year-old children’s birthday contests contain role-playing games. In order for the company of children to have plenty of fun, you can offer it to temporarily become brave Indians, overcoming obstacles, fighting hostile tribes and performing funny dances. You can transform into brave knights, beautiful princesses or fire-breathing dragons, characters from fairy tales or cartoons – the choice here is unlimited. Of course, such contests are made with their own hands, so parents will have to try hard by creating costumes and attributes. In addition, they themselves can participate in entertainment together with the children, releasing a child hiding in the depths of their souls for a short time.
Competitions for children 4-12 years old
It is most convenient to think about holding competitions at a children’s birthday party if all children present at the celebration are of the same age. However, often, especially for the birthday of preschoolers, not only peers are invited, but also relatives with their children, sisters and brothers – then a variety of children’s ages can be represented at the celebration. This happens because the child himself still lacks his peer friends, so relatives of all ages come instead of them, who know the birthday boy from a young age and are happy to congratulate him. In this case, birthday contest ideas for kids will just require a bit more effort from the parents, but in the end, the kids themselves will find ways to start interacting better, and such contact between them will bring invaluable teamwork experience to the younger ones.
“Tails”
This game involves pairs of players, each of which is tied around the waist with a rope so that a small “tail” hangs from behind. The task of the players is to be the first to catch the opponent by the tail and prevent him from doing the same. This fun competition is good to spend with fervent music. The game trains reaction and dexterity.

“Collective Art”
To play this game, children need to be divided into 2 teams. The first members of each team draw the head and neck on the top of their sheets, while the rest of the participants do not see what exactly is drawn. Then the presenter wraps the top of the sheet, covering the image, and only the lower part of the neck remains visible. After that, the second player approaches the sheet and continues the drawing. Then the host wraps this part of the sheet as well, leaving only the lower part of the lines of the drawing. So gradually the drawing grows down, and all team members take turns putting their hands on it. At the end, the presenter unfolds both sheets and everyone looks at the resulting image with surprise. Such contests for children at the birthday of 6 years old perfectly develop their imagination.
“Artistic Relay Race”
This game, which develops creative imagination and thinking, the ability to work in a team, is interesting, but calm. Children are divided into two teams, which are given the task of drawing an animal or other object in a certain time. At the same time, in one approach, each participant can draw one line (straight line, oval, circle, etc.). In the end, that team wins, the drawing of which will more closely resemble the intended object.
“Candy on a fishing rod”
Instead of a fishing hook, you need to tie a candy to a fishing line by a candy wrapper. With the help of a fishing rod, you need to bring the candy to your mouth, unfold it without the help of your hands and eat it. The child who completes it the fastest wins. This game develops dexterity and coordination.
Balloon Volleyball
Thanks to this exciting game, children develop dexterity, reaction, and coordination of movements. Children need to be divided into two teams, put chairs at a distance of 1 meter from each other, seat all the players on them. A rope stretched between chairs in the middle of the floor indicates a grid separating teams. Then a kind of volleyball begins, in which you need to throw the ball over the rope, and the players are forbidden to take the ball in their hands (you can only push it with your palms) and get up from the chairs. If the ball hits the floor in the opponent’s half, the team gets a point. The game can be continued up to 15 points.
“Nesmeyana”
Thinking about how to spend a children’s birthday at home, it is useful to choose contests that develop communication skills, ingenuity and imagination in children, like the next “Nesmeyana” contest. One of the children is chosen as Princess Nesmeyana and sits on a chair in front of the rest of the children. The rest of the children should try to make the “princess” laugh, while you can’t touch her. The one who succeeds becomes the next Nesmeyana himself.
“Guess”
Before starting the game with the children, a certain topic is chosen (holiday, animals, furniture, etc.), after which the leader thinks of an object corresponding to the chosen topic. Players must guess what was chosen using clarifying questions, to which the driver can only answer “yes” and “no”. The first one to guess what he has planned becomes the leader himself. With the help of this game, children train communication skills, develop thinking.
Hold the balloon
Children’s birthday parties at home often require a lot of space, but not this one. Two pairs of players take part here. Each pair must be placed in a circle formed by a hoop or a circle drawn on the floor. Each pair is given a balloon. Their task is to try to keep the ball in the air as long as possible by blowing on it, but without touching it with their hands, so that it does not fly out of their circle. The pair that can hold their ball the longest wins. With the help of this game, reaction, agility, coordination, breathing apparatus are trained.
“Eskimo blind man’s buff”
Among the children, a leader is chosen, who is put on thick mittens on his hands and is blindfolded. After that, children come up to him in turn, whom he must recognize by touch. If he succeeds, then the identified child becomes the driver, and if he makes a mistake, he makes attempts with the following players. With the help of such a competition, children develop memory and spatial imagination.
Wickers
Active and fun birthday contests can train mindfulness, and the best game for this is the Wickers game. Children need to be divided into two equal teams and choose a leader. Chairs are placed in a row, on which the first team sits, and opposite a chair is placed, near which the leader stands. The members of the second team stand behind the backs of the players sitting on the chairs. The host looks around at the seated players and winks at one of them. The player who winked should quickly move to a chair near the leader, and the task of the player standing behind him is to grab him in time to prevent escape. If the escape is successful, then this player himself becomes the leader.
“Broken Phone”
With the help of the fun game “Broken Phone”, children imperceptibly hone their attention and hearing. The host whispers a phrase or word into the ear of the first player, after which he turns to his neighbor and in the same way conveys to him what he heard. So along the chain, the message reaches the last player, who says out loud what he heard, and the leader loudly says what he himself conveyed. After that, the leader goes to the end of the chain, and the first player becomes the leader.
“Confusion”
Children love cool competitions where they can practice thinking, logic and attentiveness. All children need to be built in a circle, holding hands. Then the driver turns to the side, and the children begin to climb over each other as they like, but without releasing their hands. After that, the driver, also without opening his hands, must unravel this tangle.
“Composing a fairy tale for the birthday boy”
The facilitator opens a book or magazine on the first page that comes across and blindly points a finger at a random word. The first storyteller needs to come up with a phrase in which this word will participate. Similarly, words are given to all other participants in the game. You can even come up with not one, but several proposals. As a result, a funny story will be born in the game, all that remains is to write it down on beautifully designed paper and hand it to the birthday man. Such games develop imagination and thinking, replenish vocabulary.
“Three, thirteen, thirty”
Before the game, the facilitator explains to the children what number indicates this or that action, for example, 3 – hands on the belt, 13 – hands up, 30 – hands forward. Then the children line up in a line at a distance of arms outstretched to the sides. Next, the host calls the agreed numbers in random order, and the children must perform the appropriate movements. Gradually, the pace of the leader accelerates. The one who lost his way and performed another movement stands next to the leader and tries to knock down the rest of the players with incorrect movements. At the end of the game, the most attentive and unprovocative player remains. Such contests for guests on a child’s birthday train reaction and attentiveness.
Claps
Each player receives a number and stands in a circle. Then they all begin to clap rhythmically, alternating two claps on their hands with two on their knees. One of the players, when clapping his hands, repeats his own number twice, and when clapping his knees, the number of another player. The one whose number has sounded, with the next clapping of his hands, already calls his number, and with claps on the knees, the number of the next player. Anyone who loses this rhythm, forgets his number or calls a number that has already left the game, is out of the game. The last two players left in the circle are declared the winners. This fun trains reaction, memory and attentiveness.
“Liberation Action”
The dynamic game “Liberation Action” promotes the development of coordination, attention, hearing, reaction in the lead player, and in the other players – reaction and dexterity. The participants of the game sit on chairs set in a circle. In the center of the circle, a “prisoner” with his hands and feet tied and a “guard” who is blindfolded are seated. The task of the “liberators” is to untie the prisoner, and the guard is to prevent them. As soon as he touches one of the liberators, he is out of the game and removed from the circle. The one who succeeds, without being caught, to free the “captive”, himself turns into a “guard”.
“Hunting”
Active contests for a child’s birthday can develop emancipation, dexterity, coordination of movements. In the game “Hunting”, the names of the participants in the game are written down on cards, which are then shuffled and distributed to the players. The player dances to the music and at the same time quietly peeps what name is written on the card he got. At the moment when the music stops, the hunter must catch the prey, whose name is written on his card. But he also hunts for his prey. The result is real chaos! After that, the cards are collected, shuffled again, dealt out and the game continues.
“Waves in a circle”
Make a circle of closely spaced chairs, the number of which should correspond to the number of players. The driver is in the center of the circle, and the rest of the players sit on chairs. As a result, one chair remains free. The driver tends to sit on a free chair, but the players must prevent him from doing this with their movements. If the driver has time to sit on a free chair, then the player who missed him becomes the driver himself. Players move according to the driver’s commands “right” (clockwise one chair), “left”, or chaos (participants quickly change places, and the driver tries to take any free seat). The driver becomes the player who sat on the chair, which was free in front of the “chaos” command. Children train reaction, dexterity, attentiveness in the game.
“Siamese twins”
All children should be divided into two teams, in which there will be several couples. Couples stand side by side and hug each other with one hand. As a result, each “Siamese twin” has one right and one left hand. This creature needs to run to the candy plate, unwrap the candy and eat it, feeding both heads. The winner is the couple that can handle all the candies the fastest. A variant of the task for the “Siamese twins” is to make an envelope out of paper, tie laces on the shoes. This game strengthens teamwork skills.
“Fisherman and goldfish”
The participants of this game line up in a circle, and the leader, who is in the center, spins the rope and the rope with a knot at the end. The end of the rope must pass under the feet of the players, and they must jump in time to avoid touching it. The one who is touched by the rope is out of the game for a while. The game goes on until there is only one player left, who becomes the winner. It develops agility, coordination, endurance and attentiveness.
“Replica of the monument”
With the help of this game, which develops mindfulness in children, they gradually get rid of shyness. Among the children you need to choose two. One will be the “copier”, he is taken out of the room and blindfolded. The second will be a “monument”, at this moment he should take an interesting pose in which to freeze. Next, a “blind copyist” is introduced, who must determine the position of the “monument” by touch and take exactly the same.
Broken Fax
In this game, children are seated one after the other so that each next one looks at the back of the head of the previous one. The first and last players each receive a pen and a sheet of paper. The last player draws a simple figure on paper, and then reproduces it by swiping his finger along the back in front of the seated player. He, in turn, draws with his finger on the back of the predecessor what he felt with his back. The player sitting first transfers his feelings to paper, after which the initial and final drawings are compared. With the help of this game, memory, motor skills of hands, mindfulness are trained.
Cockfighting
The floor is divided by a ribbon or rope, on both sides of which two players stand in the starting position – on one leg, facing each other, with their hands clasped behind their backs. Everyone should strive to cross the border to the side of the enemy without touching the floor with the second foot and without disengaging their hands. At the same time, it is still impossible to allow the enemy to enter your territory. You can only push with your chest or shoulder. Anyone who breaks these rules is considered a loser. The game develops strength and coordination.
Knees
Players must be seated close to each other, placing their left hand on the right knee of the neighbor on the left, and the right hand on the left knee of the opposite neighbor. If the circle is not closed, then the extreme players put one hand on their knee. In the game, you should quickly clap your knee with your hand, without violating a certain sequence. If someone clapped out of time or even just raised his hand, then he hides this hand. There can be multiple or just one winner. To make the game more interesting, you need to maintain its high pace. It trains reaction, motor skills of hands, coordination, attentiveness.
Caterpillar
Players stand one after another and put their hands on the belt of the player in front, forming a caterpillar. The first becomes the head of this caterpillar, and the last becomes the tail. Then music sounds, and the caterpillar begins to crawl forward, while the head makes different dance steps with any parts of the body, and the rest should try to repeat these movements. Tired, the “head” turns to the next player, strokes his head, and then becomes the tail of the caterpillar. Emancipation, coordination, attentiveness are trained here.

Contests and games for children on their birthday: funny, sweet, moving
How to make a holiday fun and so that children like it? Coming up with a scenario for a children’s birthday will be much easier if you use our ideas. We have prepared for you the best birthday contests for kids. For convenience, we have divided the contests by age and type. We encourage every parent to be a part of this process. We assure you, it is much more interesting than hiring animators. You will definitely be able to hold interesting contests and games, because you know your children better than others. So go ahead!
Tables
1. Competitions for babies
2. Competitions for older children
3. Competitions for adolescents
4. Musical contests
5. Sweet competitions
6. Competitions at the table
Introductory Part
To begin with, we want to voice some important nuances that are useful to remember before you start preparing for a children’s birthday:
Think about the venue and the place where it is convenient to hold games for children. Maybe somewhere you will make room for outdoor games or go out into the yard. The easiest way to do this is in the country, but it can also be done in the courtyard of an apartment building in good weather.
You can discuss and choose competitions with the whole family – connect your children to this, they will feel like real organizers of holidays. But leave for them a few contests that they will not know about – so they will be more interested in the holiday itself.
When choosing competitions, consider at least approximately how long each one will take. Calculate the total.
Collect all competitions in a single document and print it out. This will make it easier for you to navigate.
Write down what props are needed for each competition. Don’t forget to buy everything you need in advance.
At the beginning of the holiday, let the children get used to it a little. If the children do not know each other, then help them get to know each other, and only then start the program.
Do not forget to remove everything unnecessary from the room, look carefully so that there are no sharp objects around, protruding corners of furniture, and so on. If it is possible to arrange a sweet table in one room, and make as much space as possible in the other, this would be an ideal option.
Don’t expect everything to be perfect. Allow yourself to improvise if needed.
Do not try to “cram” as many contests into the program as possible and by all means hold them all. Let your script be flexible.
Watch both the time and the mood of the children.
Do not forget about the surroundings – balloons, a poster with congratulations, candles on the cake. All these seemingly small things create a holiday atmosphere. The costume of a fairy tale character, whom the birthday boy loves, will help you to enter the role of the presenter. You can rent it, usually there are such services in every city.
Think about the age of the children when preparing – what is interesting to children at 4 years old is unlikely to be of much interest to a child who is 12 years old. If you have a company of different ages, make contests for different age categories and hold them in turn.
Competitions for toddlers
Young children are not good at team games. Our selection of simple contests for young children will come to the rescue.
Chamomile
Together with the children you make a camomile with petals out of paper. At the festival itself, children take turns pulling the petals and completing the tasks that are written on them. Tasks are selected according to the age of the participants. Let them be more mobile for children 5-6 years old, and more creative for children 7-8 years old. Although, of course, it depends on the children themselves.
For example, tasks can be:
10 jumps on one leg.
Shout ka-ka-river 5 times.
Bark a song.
Recite a verse.
Dance.
Draw someone and so on.
Kangaroos in Kindergarten
Fun game for kids. Children are divided into 2 groups, parents can also participate. On the “start” command, they jump to the designated place – “kindergarten” and throw a soft toy there (the number of soft toys for each team is determined in advance, for example, 10 pieces). Then they also jump back. And so on in turn. If parents take part in the game, then their task, on the contrary, is to take back all the children (soft toys) from the garden. The team that completes the task first wins.
Competitions for older children
Key and Lock
A couple of volunteers are called for the competition. Each of them is given several padlocks and a bunch of keys. The first person to open all the locks wins. The game develops not only coordination and motor skills, but also logical thinking. The fact is that most of the keys can be dismissed already by their appearance, so children learn to “turn on the brain”, and not just mechanically perform actions. If the children didn’t think of this before and tried to insert all the keys without exception, then you can tell them about this “secret” after the game.
This competition is best suited for children aged 6-7.
“Unseen little animal”
Children are divided into teams with an equal number of people. Each is given a piece of paper or a large sheet, which is desirable to attach to a magnetic wall, a board or a regular wall in the room (you can use masking tape so as not to damage the wallpaper). Cheerful fast music is included. The task of each participant in turn is to run up to the sheet – draw some part of the animal and return to the team. You can designate a time for this – for example, 2 minutes or let the children do a few “circles”. After the team completes, they look at what they got.
For older children, you can make an addition – the team comes up with a name for the resulting animal and tells a story about it. This competition is usually interesting to play for both 7-8 year old children and those who are already 9-10 years old.
Competitions for teenagers
Teenagers are not averse to having fun, but their games should be more adult, then they will feel “at ease”. Teenagers also love fun contests and games for kids at home for their birthday. No matter how you think that they are already adults – they are also children. Below we offer competitions that are suitable for children 12-14 years old.
Congratulate the birthday boy
Different letters are written on strips of paper in advance (one on each card). Each guest draws a card with a specific letter. Now he needs to come up with a congratulation for the birthday man, in which most of the words will begin with the letter that he pulled out.
Dance Karaoke
If your teenager has a game console, you can use it to entertain guests. For example, one of the games is Just Dance is very popular with teenagers and causes a lot of emotions. This is a kind of dance battle – two participants dance to the composition, repeating the movements from the screen, and then each of them receives a certain number of points, depending on how similar the movements were to the “original”. If you don’t have a console, but have a desire, you can find a video from the game on YouTube (enter the query “just dance video”) and turn it on on a large TV.
Then the winner can be determined by the guests with their applause.
“Juicer”
Participants of the game are given half an orange or several fruits and cups. The goal is to squeeze out as much juice as possible. This game can also be played in teams, then the participants pour all the cups into one jar and the team results are compared.
Music competitions for children
If you don’t have a musical education, this is no reason to deny yourself the pleasure of organizing something like that. The simplest thing is to arrange a musical battle.
“Musical battle”
Children are divided into 2 teams – each chooses a song and perform in turn in front of each other. You can prepare options in advance or print out the words. Give them 10 minutes to prepare, let them choose a soloist, backing vocals and musicians, or sing all together. You can also prepare some props. For example, bright skirts for girls or wigs. After the performances, give the teams prizes in nominations. For example, for artistry and for excellent vocals. Let all the children feel that they tried not in vain. And, of course, don’t forget the prizes.
Guess the Melody
You can do the good old Guess the Melody. Find “backing tracks” of different melodies on the Internet, save them in a separate playlist. The one who first guessed the song and the artist receives a token from you. In the end, the one who has more of them receives a gift and, of course, universal recognition.
Dance Contests
Dance Contests for kids coolly liberate them, allow them to feel their body, plus it’s always a lot of fun. The only recommendation is that this should be done before the children have sat down at the table and stuffed their tummies. It is important to choose fun music or cut it. Prepare tracks in advance so you don’t search in a hurry.
“Do as I do”
Turn on cheerful music, the children stand in a circle. The first child goes into the circle and shows the movement. Everyone repeats after him. Then another kid replaces him and shows his dance move – everyone also repeats after him. And so on in turn. An important rule – you can not show the movement that has already been. Arrange the children so that the more liberated children come out first.
Disco
You can simply arrange a disco for children to modern songs, which they sometimes know better than their parents. Consult with your children about this – what songs are considered fashionable now. If you prepare balloons in advance and throw them on the “dance floor”, the children will be very pleased. You can also use different kinds of confetti, crackers, rain, etc.
Children equally well perceive the opportunity to have fun with music both at 4-5 years old and at 11 years old and even older.
Sweet contests
Collect a cake
Children are divided into two or three groups. The optimal number of children in the team: 3-5 people. The host gives them “products” – components for treats. Their task is to “collect a pie” along the chain, and the last one in the team eats it. After that, he runs to the beginning of the chain and the process repeats. Here you need to be careful and not rush the children so that they do not choke. But this process is very exciting. The main thing is to calculate the amount of ingredients well.
What can be the ingredients of a “pie”:
cracker;
marmalade;
marshmallow;
a piece of chocolate;
coconut flakes.
If the children are already skilled enough, then the process can be complicated. For example, someone will get the task of spreading a cake with butter or chocolate paste.
Another variation is that children make a cake but do not eat it. After the results are summed up, who won this competition, a tea party with eating is already arranged. Then you will also train endurance and willpower, little cooks. The competition is suitable for children 8-9years. If you decide to arrange a culinary master class among the guests, this will be aerobatics.
“Guess the Animal”
For this competition, you will need to stock up on candies with animal figurines. For example, “Children’s souvenir” or buy molds with animals, pour chocolate into it and let it harden. Blindfolded children touch the figures (each gets their own) and say what kind of animal it is. If the child finds it difficult to answer, then the participants can prompt him. For example, to think of describing this animal in words, without using words of the same root, or to depict what sounds this animal makes.
Competitions at the table
Table entertainment at a child’s birthday is not only competitions and riddles. We would like to invite you to try another interesting option.
“Funny story”
Can be conducted from 2 people or more – the more participants, the funnier your story becomes. So, all participants are given a piece of paper and a pen, you ask them if they want to try themselves as writers?
For example, your contest might start like this: “Guys, who wants to be a writer? Now we will have the opportunity to try this case together! So let’s get started! We take our sheets and write on top: When and where did this story happen. We do not show anyone what you wrote. After that, we bend the sheet so that your phrase is not visible and pass the sheet to another participant on the left. We write the continuation of your story on a new sheet. Children write a new phrase and pass the sheet around. It is important not to forget to bend the sheet well and pass it on. And so on until the final. Then everyone reads their story. It usually turns out to be a lot of fun.
The facilitator can look a little at what exactly they are writing in order to help the children better understand the rules.
We recommend the following story structure:
When and where did this happen?
Who are the participants in this story?
Who else was there?
What were they doing?
Why did they decide to do this?
What happened next?
What did the heroes do when it happened?
How did it all end?
Mobile competitions
Children are very fond of running, jumping and all kinds of relay races. Therefore, mobile contests and games for a children’s birthday are a great way to have fun. The main thing is that there is enough space.
Children’s birthday relay races
Relay races can be very different, for example, teams (from 3 people in each) must transfer water from a full glass to an empty one using a teaspoon or a tablespoon at speed. Accordingly, one glass stands at one end of the room, and the other at the opposite.
After the first glass is empty, the presenter compares who has more water in the second glasses – that team wins. Such a competition is best done on the country lawn, if suddenly you are celebrating your birthday there. Well, or just be ready to quickly wipe the floor, including so that children do not slip.
If there are a lot of children, the relay race can be done in pairs – for example, two people carry some object, holding it with their heads, stomachs, backs, etc. Surely many people remember running in bags, familiar to us from childhood – one person from the team they jump in bags to a chair, go around it and come back. The team helps to put the bag on the feet of the next participant and he jumps on. The host monitors compliance with the rules, the distance traveled and who will come first. By the way, a more modern and no less fun variation is running on bean bags. You also have to jump, but on horseback. It’s a lot of fun to both participate and watch this action from the sidelines. If you have at least two at home, or you still thought of renting them for your party, why not use them as props for the contest.
Funny contests
All children love to laugh. Invite them to play joke contests. Children are usually very cool actors, and if not, then a children’s birthday is a great occasion to show this skill. Organize a theater competition!
“Guess who”
Each child in turn portrays any animal without using words and sounds, and the rest guess. As soon as the child hears the correct answer, he takes his place, and a new actor enters the stage. You can agree in advance on topics that can be used in this competition – animals, birds, insects, professions, and so on. If you stock up on props, you can dress up children in various characters from fairy tales and films so that others can guess who it is. Children love to transform. Don’t forget to highlight each individual’s specific acting skills (for example: “Misha, you were very persuasive. Masha, you did such a good speech”) and give them small prizes. The especially brave ones can arrange a competition of parodies against each other, but there are risks that one of the guys will be offended. Therefore, do this only if you know the children and their characters well.
The game “Do not crush the egg”
One of the most courageous players is called to participate. You place it at the front of the room and lay eggs on the floor in front of it. Raw. So that he can see them. The rules are: the player must memorize the location of the eggs, then you blindfold him and he must pass through the “egg minefield” without stepping on and breaking a single egg (don’t panic, you won’t have to wash anything).
Children usually want to leave immediately, but it’s too late to refuse. As soon as your eyes are blindfolded, you quickly remove all the eggs, the child carefully follows the intended path, and the other children can hardly restrain their laughter. At the end, you untie his eyes and everyone laughs with him.
Intellectual
Various quizzes or riddles can be prepared for a child’s birthday. It is good to hold such competitions at the “warming up” when the children have recently gathered. You can search the net for quizzes for your age. Or just take any children’s encyclopedia about animals, about cars, etc. and write out interesting facts from there. Children can answer open-ended questions or choose from the options provided. You can take a narrower topic, especially if you know that all the guests love one cartoon – prepare questions specifically for it.
If you have a family birthday and only relatives and their children came to visit, prepare a quiz about your family. It seems that the first job of dad, where mom and dad met, the number of the kindergarten Kolya went to, what word Lena spoke incorrectly before the 1st grade, etc. It will be fun and pleasant to remember some happy moments.
Competitions for girls
Beauty
This competition can be held with or without mothers. The participants are divided into 2 teams. You are preparing props: 2 chairs, 2 headscarves and 2 large skirts – one item for each of the teams. The task of the participants in turn is to run to the chair, put on a headscarf with a skirt, sit down and say some phrase: “I am beautiful!”. After that, the participant takes everything off herself and runs back. The following is taken over. You can add the competition and other elements of clothing to your taste.
“Dress the doll”
A pair of participants is selected. In front of each is a doll and a pile of clothes. The task is to dress the doll as quickly as possible. You can play against the clock or against the clock. If the girls are older, you can ask them to comment on the kit and tell where to put it on.
Competitions for boys
“Sumo wrestlers”
A very fun and entertaining competition is best suited for boys. A couple of daredevils are called to the “ring”. Everyone gets a big daddy’s t-shirt or just a large t-shirt, puts it on, and a pillow is “stuffed” under the t-shirt. A circle is drawn around the children. If you play outside, you can draw a circle with chalk, and then erase or put a gymnastic hoop. Scarves laid out in a circle, ribbon, rope are suitable for the home. The task of sumo wrestlers is to push each other out of the circle with their soft pillow sides without hands.
“Head and ball”
Two participants are called, each gets the same ball (if there is only one ball, this competition can be held for a while in turn). The task is to push the ball with your head, without touching it with your hands and feet, and, as quickly as possible, bring it to the finish line or go through a certain route and return back.
‘Cool’ is often used to describe an attitude, a sense of style, or mere presence. So when we considered the wide range of cool dog breeds many pet parents seem to love, many interesting pups made the list!
It’s natural to get excited when you spot cool-looking dogs online, especially when you’ve come up with an equally cool name for them! Nevertheless, take your time researching breeds that catch your eye to ensure the best fit.
Jo Myers, DVM, of Salida, Colo. is a telehealth practitioner on Vetster. She says while you might love how a dog looks, it’s better to choose a canine buddy best suited to your lifestyle. “Having the option to ‘test-drive’ a dog before permanently adopting is a great way to see if you and the dog whose picture you fell in love with can actually live together. ” So be prepared to take notes on the following cool dogs!

Myers, like many of us, remembers seeing her first Borzoi in the Disney film classic “Lady and the Tramp” and was excited to learn that this stylish, lanky dog with the long nose was real and possibly one she could bring home! Once known as the Russian wolfhound, this elegant, gentle pooch is an excellent sprinter who loves to exercise, then be pampered indoors with attentive care for her luxurious coat.

It’s no surprise the German shepherd—considered one of the most popular dogs in the U.S.—ranks high with pet lovers on the list of coolest dog breeds of all time. Although they’re terrific as military and law enforcement canine officers, these pups are also active and fluffy cuddlebugs with their furever families. Cool dog mixes often feature German shepherd parents because they have many desirable traits.

Dogo Argentino

The dogo Argentino is a unique canine recognized in 2020 as the American Kennel Club’s 195th breed. This muscular athlete, Myers says, was bred to hunt, and not just a pheasant or duck, but wild boar, mountain lions, and other large game. A dog owner experienced with training and socializing working breeds will probably love the strong ambition and tender heart of this good boy.

Catahoula Leopard Dog

Speaking of cool-looking dogs, the Catahoula leopard dog is a stunner (that merle pattern!) and, if we’re honest, rather upfront with his strong streak of independence. If your goal is to have a sharp hunting dog who loves tasks and bonds well with the right positive reinforcement training, this historic Louisiana bayou breed might be a canine match in heaven, especially if he’ll be the only pet in the house.

Sweet, gentle, and loving, greyhounds are known for their speed—up to 45 mph!—and sightwork, so keep these factors in mind if jogging together on a trail chock full of bunnies! Although it takes patient dog lovers to help greyhounds adapt to new surroundings and training, especially if rescued, these soft-tempered beauties are super responsive and love quality time with their families.

A Boerboel, also known as the South Africian mastiff, is smart and massive (200 pounds! Wow!) Pronounced boo-r-bull in the Afrikaans language, the name means ‘farmer’s dog’ and this breed is known for being a good guardian. Often described as ‘big loving babies’ who are great in families with children, boerboels require early and consistent guidance from experienced pet parents.

Bull Terrier

This guy! Totally an extrovert. Whatever you’re into, bull terriers are, too! He’s eager to learn, ready to hike or take a long run in an instant, and responds well to training. A bully will shine with dedicated attention in a single-pet adult household, amusing anyone he meets with a goofy sense of humor and rambunctiousness. Keep him occupied and he’ll keep you entertained!
8 of 16
Irish Wolfhound

Kings, queens, presidents, and lovers of ancient Irish lore are all fans of this wolfhound. Not only is the Irish wolfhound the tallest registered dog breed at 30 inches high, she’ll also weigh as much as 180 pounds! Once bred to hunt wolves, she’s eager to be engaged mentally and physically. While her mounds of shaggy fur is a lot to manage, it’s worth it to have such an intelligent and kind doggo.

Vizsla

In looks, temperament, and abilities, a Vizsla (pronounced veezh-la or veesh-la) is hard to beat for people who want a devoted canine companion. He’s a ‘velcro dog’ for sure! This talkative Hungarian multitasker expects a lot from you, though. So if you’re ready to train a good hunter, agility master, therapy dog—anything that provides constant companionship and activity—think of a Vizsla!

Tibetan Mastiff

Is it a bear? No, it’s a Tibetan mastiff! Large? Try humongous! (Can you imagine trying to fit a full-grown one into a car?) As a guardian dog, they’re intelligent, more than a tad willful, and appreciate quiet time, so a skilled pet parent with a large fenced property is the best match for this mastiff so can keep a good eye on things for you. Oh, and be prepared for a monstrous blowing coat season!
11 of 16
Basenji

A Basenji hardly barks at all. Instead, he yodels (or sounds like an air raid siren!) These cool rare dogs are mighty small game hunters from the African Congo. Basenjis are energetic and playful, excelling at canine sports such as tracking, agility, and lure coursing. Often described as ‘cat-like’ in their independent nature and grooming habits, they still want to be with you doing all things!

Doberman Pinscher

The silhouette of a Doberman pinscher is instantly recognizable, as is his reputation for being a protective wunderkind (he has German heritage). Loyal, highly intelligent, and full of energy, a ‘Dobie’ is another velcro dog who wants to be an active part of his human’s life, with consistent training from puppyhood and daily physical and mental activities such as flyball or scentwork.

Bedlington Terrier

Fluffy and friendly, Bedlington terriers offer another funky benefit: they’re mostly hypoallergenic—as much as dogs can be, anyway! Training with treats is wonderful positive reinforcement for a Bedlington to help manage barking, and she’s a great companion for both children and seniors. Cats—eh, not so much, as her natural terrier instincts take over! Best to have her as a solo dog, too.

Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless Dog)

Myers says the ancestors of a xoloitzcuintli were chosen precisely for their unusual appearances. A ‘xolo’ forms close bonds, and can be a calm yet athletic pup in a family with older children as long as they’re socialized and trained early in puppy kindergarten. And while these hairless cool dogs don’t shed (even the slightly-more-haired varieties of the breed), they need sunscreen!
15 of 16
Alaskan Klee Kai

Similar to a pint-sized husky, the Alaskan klee kai (Inuit words meaning ‘little dog’) can be great for apartment living—just make sure she’s mentally and physically stimulated each day, ‘cause this clever pup has no problem outsmarting you! She’s a great swimmer, eager to tackle new tricks, and enjoys performance sports, too. These cool small dogs love their people and pets around (with proper introductions, of course!)

Even Myers, a longtime dog fancier, says this breed is new to her, so allow us to present the coolest dog you’ve probably never heard of: the Beauceron. This French herding dog is highly intelligent and skilled in law enforcement and search and rescue—and he forms close bonds with his adult buddies. Experienced and active dog owners eager to participate in competitive dog activities and continued training should check him out!

Ibizan Hound
Graceful and deer-like, the Ibizan Hound is distinctive. With amber eyes, large ears, and red and white fur, this Spanish breed boasts two varieties: the smooth, or wiry coat. Originally bred to hunt rabbits, this canine is quiet, and good with kids, but requires a home with high fences. An Ibizan can easily sail over barriers of five-feet or more.

Cane Corso
Dating back to 600 AD Italy, the Cane Corso (pronounced Connie Corso) descends from Roman war dogs. Its large, athletic build, and strong work ethic made this canine ideal for herding, hunting, and guarding. Almost extinct in the 1980s, the breed is now making a welcome comeback. Suspicious of strangers yet devoted to its master, the Cane Corso requires an experienced dog owner who can handle its protective instincts.

Schipperke
Small and energetic, the Schipperke (pronounced Skipper-key) is native to Belgium. Adored for its inquisitive personality and beautiful coat, “the little black devil” was a vermin hunter. Today, they’re regarded as happy, loyal companions. Their sassy demeanour and enthusiasm for mischief requires a dedicated owner who will supervise its adventures. Schipperkes are talented escape artists—a well-fenced yard, and on-leash walks are a must.

Coton de Tulear
Known as the Royal Dog of Madagascar, the Coton de Tulear (pronounced Cu-toe de Too-lay-are) dates back several centuries. Sharing ancestors with the Maltese, and Bichon Frise, this happy-go-lucky pup historically served as a royal pet. Sociable and smart, the Coton often behaves like a little, furry clown. Their bouncy antics, and tireless energy are endearing, but owners must be careful not to fall completely under their Coton’s spell—this fun-loving breed will take advantage of a lenient master.
Here are all the ways dogs are smarter than you think.

Tibetan Mastiff
Hailing from China, the Tibetan Mastiff is an ancient breed. An extremely protective, intelligent, and independent dog, he prefers to make his own decisions, and is not easily trained. Walking off-leash, obeying commands, and trusting strangers are challenges with this majestic canine. The Tibetan can be a wonderful pet under the supervision of a knowledgeable, and dedicated owner.

Berger Picard
With its tousled appearance, the Berger Picard—star of the movie Because of Winn-Dixie—is often mistaken for a mutt. Don’t let this dog’s low-maintenance look fool you. This canine boasts a proud French pedigree. Traditionally a sheepdog, the Berger Picard (pronounced Bare zhay Peecar) almost disappeared after World War II. Fortunately, breed fanciers are re-establishing its presence not only in France, but worldwide. Quiet, loyal, and athletic, the Berger craves attention and often displays comical behaviour.

Boykin Spaniel
With its gold eyes, and soft, chocolate-coloured coat, the Boykin Spaniel could easily be discounted as just a pretty household pet—but this breed is no lap dog. Hard-working and spirited, this spaniel is a seasoned hunting companion. Bred for tracking wild turkeys, the Boykin first appeared in the south-eastern United States during the early 20th century. Recognized as the state dog of South Carolina, the Boykin Spaniel has a friendly personality, and adores children.

Chinese Crested
Surprise! The Chinese Crested isn’t from China. Experts believe that this small breed originated in Central America. Used as ratters on ships along Mexico’s coast, the dogs were often traded for goods. Chinese boat crews adored these canines. By the 18th century, people mistakenly thought that this elegant breed was Asian. There are two types of Chinese Crested dogs: the hairless, and powderpuff. A single litter of puppies can produce both varieties.

Leonberger
Originating in Germany in the mid-1800s, the Leonberger was a favourite of European royals. Strong and imposing, this household guardian closely resembled a lion. Today, its affectionate manner makes him an excellent therapy dog, or children’s companion. But don’t be mislead by his cuddly disposition—prospective owners must train this pet properly. With many Leonbergers weighing over 120-lbs., they naturally believe that they’re the boss.

Icelandic Sheepdog
Iceland’s native dog is not only unique, but rare. Rescued from the brink of extinction in the 1950s, the Icelandic Sheepdog is slowly increasing in numbers. A natural herder, the breed is alert, intelligent, and enthusiastic. Friendly with other animals, and gentle with children, the Icelandic forms strong bonds with its master. Occasionally, this attachment can cause separation anxiety, and excess barking. With a gentle touch, a skilled owner can teach their Icelandic Sheepdog to be calm in their absence.

Australian Kelpie
When it comes to herding sheep, the Australian Kelpie is the blue-chip candidate for rounding up the herd, whether the herd consists of sheep, other dogs, or kids. For that reason, the Kelpie isn’t a breed for a first-time dog parent or a family with young children. If the Kelpie is right for you, however, it’s essential that you to provide your pup with plenty of stimulating mental and physical exercise daily, notes the American Kennel Club (AKC). That could even include surfing! A Kelpie named Abbie Girl won the World Dog Surfing Championship in Pacifica, California, two years in a row!

Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound
The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound, which is originally from Germany, has a superior tracking ability and can differentiate between a wounded animal it is hunting and other animals of the same species. You’re not likely to see a BMSH hailing a cab—unless it’s to get out of the city. The BMSH needs lots of space to roam and is not a fan of kennels. “This energetic breed is courageous and determined when hunting,” says Mary Burch, PhD, an animal behaviourist with the AKC Family Dog Program. “They are calm and devoted to their families, but they need an experienced owner.”

The Estrela Mountain Dog is one of the oldest breeds in Portugal. The Mastiff-type dog has some unique features, including a black mask, a hook at the end of its tail, and small ears. An Estrela is a devoted companion for life. “Much like the Leonberger, this is a big and sturdy dog with a warm personality,” says Mari-Beth O’Neill, Vice President of AKC Sports Services. “You do not see dogs like this every day. If you are looking for a dog that is a protector and a playmate, this is it.”

Thai Ridgeback
It would be incredibly rare to see a Thai Ridgeback outside of Thailand. You might mistake a Rhodesian Ridgeback for one, as both have the trademark ridge of hair on their back that grows in the opposite direction of their coat. These days, Thai Ridgebacks are loyal companions, and while they also exhibited loyalty way back when, they did so in a slightly different way: It was their job was to keep cobras away from their humans, and they would kill a cobra, if necessary. “While Thai Ridgebacks can be loyal family pets, they are independent and protective and are not the best choice for the first-time dog owner,” says Burch.

Treeing Tennessee Brindle
The Treeing Tennessee Brindle hails from the United States, mainly in and around the Appalachian and Ozark Mountains. TTBs are alert, agile, and super fast. They have an inherent instinct to hunt, and they “tree” their prey by forcing it up into a tree. Once they have the prey isolated, they alert their human by baying. According to the AKC, the old saying “You’re barking up the wrong tree” comes from this type of hunting. For non-hunting humans, TTBs love agility training, going out for walks several times a day, playing games inside (like hide-and-seek), and chasing balls.

Norwegian Lundehund
This adorable small breed hails from the rocky island of Vaeroy in Norway. Long ago, Islanders depended on the Lundehund to hunt and retrieve puffins from rocky crevices to sustain them through the long winter. And the Lundehund is perfectly equipped for the task. It has six fully functioning toes (not dewclaws) and extra paw pads—for rock hoppin’. Clever and affectionate, the Lundehund’s other distinctive features include an “elastic neck” that stretches back, so its head can touch its spine, and ears that go forward and backward at will or even shut. Regularly check the ears of your dog to avoid a buildup of wax and debris, which can result in infection.

Bergamasco Sheepdog
The “flocks” on the Bergamasco Sheepdog always get a second look. How is that hair even natural? Yet it is, and it happens because the strands of hair get woven together, creating flat layers of felted hair that cover the body and legs. The unique coat isn’t just glam-squad worthy—it helped its ancestors stay warm and cozy in the frigid Italian Alps. The Bergamasco’s long upper eyelashes keep the curtain of hair out of its eyes, preventing snowblindness. Surprisingly, the flocks don’t shed and aren’t as hard to maintain as they look, O’Neill says. Fleas aren’t the only source of itching for dogs.

Pyrenean Shepherd
How about a muzzle snuggle from this cute scruffy face? The Pyrenean Shepherd comes in two coat varieties: rough-faced and smooth-faced. Rough or smooth, both types have bright eyes and a perpetual smile. The breed is a great candidate for agility, rally, obedience, dock diving, freestyle work, and almost any fun dog sport. Devoted to their pet parent, the Pyrenean has an intuitive sense about their owner’s desires and does particularly well with clicker training and positive, reward-based methods.

Cesky Terrier
You know you’re top dog if your picture is on a postage stamp and you’re the national dog of your country. The contemplative eyes and distinguished beard of the Czech Republic’s Cesky Terrier conveys a stately and dignified vibe. Yet the Cesky is no stuffy politician. “They are a pack breed, which means they would fit well with other dogs, and they love to play and are great companions with their family,” says Jerry Klein, DVM, the AKC’s Chief Veterinary Officer. The Cesky isn’t a breed you’ll see every day—there are only about 600 in the United States.

Belgian Laekenois
The Belgian Laekenois (pronounced “Lak-in-wah”) is one of four native dogs that call Belgium home. You’ll be tempted to snuggle up on the couch and run your fingers through its tousled coat, but the Laekenois will probably put some time limits on it. They’re no slackers and won’t be satisfied with sitting around the house or being left alone in the backyard. Laekenois want to be with their human family and require an active lifestyle to be happy.
These are the human foods that are good for your dog.

Portuguese Podengo
This pint-sized Portuguese Podengo is the smallest of Portugal’s three Podengo breeds; it’s just eight to 12 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs about 13 pounds. These dogs sport either a wire or smooth coat, both of which require a little grooming. Chasing rabbits is in their genes, so they’re wired to run and play until they drop. Maybe it’s all that exercise that keeps them healthy because they usually live well into their teens. You won’t have to make many visits to the vet with this breed, as it’s known to have few genetic problems.

Teddy Roosevelt Terrier
The Teddy Roosevelt Terrier is a lively, friendly, affectionate dog with his family but often will latch onto one person, in particular. The breed was named in honour of President Teddy Roosevelt, who “appointed” these rat terriers to combat the rat infestation in the White House. Spunky and lovable, these dogs are outgoing and friendly with kids and family pets when raised together. With their love of social life, they don’t do well when they’re in kennels, consistently tied up, or isolated from their people.

Biewer Terrier
Pronounced like “beaver,” the Biewer Terrier is as cute as it is sweet. It is a delightful little lapdog whose sole purpose is to love and be loved. Biewers have that swoon factor—innocent (I didn’t chew your shoe), adorable (I’m as cute as a button), friendly (I see the good in everyone), and a dash of spunk (I love being the star of the show). It’s no wonder this rare dog is seeing a growing amount of interest, says Dr. Klein. According to the AKC, Biewers are also “the first breed to be recognized as a breed of its own (purebred) using advancements in science rather than the traditional process of pedigree documentation.” That said, Biewers aren’t fully recognized by the AKC yet.

Peruvian Inca Orchid
If the great outdoors make you feel icky, then the Peruvian Inca Orchid could be the perfect canine BFF for you. Their delicate, hairless bodies don’t bode well outside, so they prefer the indoors. When they do go out for walks, sunscreen is a must for their coat. One big word of warning: PIOs are sighthounds and may see small pets as prey. As a primitive breed, their temperaments can vary from docile to more feral, so they’re not ideal for families with young children.

Dandie Dinmont Terrier
The only dog breed named after a literary character, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier was named after a robust and friendly farmer in Sir Walter Scott’s 1814 book Guy Mannering. The book is much easier to find than the dog, though. “There are few breeds in the United States rarer than the Dandie Dinmont Terrier,” says Dr. Klein. “The breed is small but not dainty, lovable and playful but still tough, and amongst the most docile of the terriers. They would make an excellent city dog, but they can be hard to obtain. Should you be lucky enough to find a breeder of DDTs, you will almost certainly find your best friend in this breed.”
Here’s how to stop your dog from barking.

Saluki
At first glance, you might think the Saluki missed a few meals, but its slim and leggy appearance is naturally adept for swiftness and agility—skills needed thousands of years ago as the favorite hunting hound of Egyptian pharaohs. In fact, they were so highly esteemed that Salukis were often mummified like the bodies of the pharaohs themselves. But the only things the Saluki is hunting for these days are toys and your affection. They’ll be happy just about anywhere you are—in the city or the country and in just about any climate.

Azawakh
At first glance, you might think we showed you the same rare dog breed twice. “Easily confused with a Saluki, the Azawakh (pronounced AH-ZA-WAH) is unique in its own right,” says O’Neill. “Many people find them distant or aloof, but those who own the breed know how loyal and sweet they can be.” This sighthound from Africa used to chase gazelles across the searing sands of the Sahara, but these days the Azawakh favors sidewalks over sand and fancies running with its human. While the Azawakh has been gracefully walking the Earth for thousands of years, it was only recently recognized as an AKC breed in the Hound Group in 2019.

Canaan Dog
The Canaan Dog is one of the AKC’s oldest breeds and also the national dog of Israel. You might not need a security system if you have one of these guard dogs. They are vigilant and highly territorial, as well as very protective of their family. Their superior sense of smell and hearing can identify non-family members from a considerable distance. “Canaan Dogs are a sturdy breed. They need an alpha at all times, but they’re great with other animals after a good amount of training and socialization,” says O’Neill. “If you want to hike, run, or play, the Canaan Dog is a great fit, as they can easily keep up.”

Otterhound
Looking for a dog breed that’s excited to see you when you get home yet independent enough not to make you its entire world? The rare and wonderful Otterhound could be the perfect match for you—if you can find one. O’Neill says there are only about 600 in the world. “This breed is fun and great with kids! They have a great expression and are very active,” she adds. Activities aren’t limited to dry land when you have an Otterhound. Their waterproof coat and webbed feet come in handy on the trails or in the water. And they have a highly sensitive nose that allows them to follow a scent trail even underwater.

Bolognese
Nope, we’re not talking about delicious Italian meat-based sauce—although the Bolognese breed was developed in Bologna, Italy. The Bolo, as fans call it, is a five- to 9-pound lapdog who relishes a low-key and leisurely lifestyle, meaning that pet parents don’t have to worry about providing too much exercise. A walk or low-energy game is all this faithful and affectionate dog needs. Oh, and those waves of fluff don’t shed much at all, but regular grooming is a must for the full-length cut. The “mop head” look achieved with a shorter cut is easier to maintain and equally adorable.

Cool Dog Breeds – Discover Ten of the Coolest Breeds of Dog
Cool dog breeds are different to everyone. When we are young, often we assume that the “cool” things are the things other people are buying or wearing or selling on television. As we grow up, it becomes easier to realize that the whole concept of “cool” is a relative term. There’s what is cool for you, and then there’s what is cool for others! In other words, everything is cool to someone! But what makes the coolest dog breeds?
Top 10 Coolest Dog Breeds
10. Great Dane
9. Schnoodle
8. Whippet
7. Cockapoo
6. Golden Retriever
5. Blue Heeler
4. Weimaraner
3. Yorkshire Terrier
2. Labradoodle
1. Labrador Retriever
Before we get started with our countdown, let’s find out what makes the coolest dog breeds so awesome!
What Makes a Dog Cool
There are loads of ways to measure ‘cool’ dogs. Some people like to find examples based on their favorite celebrities. For instance, some celebrities think it is cool to keep company with petite fur babies (here, you might naturally think of platinum blondes with purse-sized Chihuahuas). Other celebrities think it is super cool to rescue big dog breeds, such as Selena Gomez and her Labrador, Willie, and Jake Gyllenhaal and his German Shepherd, Atticus.
Alternatively, you can look at rankings for dogs online. This is a great way to see which dogs are generally regarded as cool by the most people. Another method is just to learn about breed history. Some dog breeds have awesome origin stories, and even had to fight their way back from near extinction! What’s cooler than that?
Let’s get started with our top 10 favorite cool dog breeds, and what makes them so great.
10. Great Dane
The sheer size of the aptly named Great Dane can make this one of the best cool dogs to get, hands down!
Most people can name a Great Dane just by looking at them. While they are very big size-wise, on the inside the Great Dane is truly a “gentle giant”. It left its original hunting days behind long ago to fall in love with the modern couch instead.
Great Danes make amazing service and therapy dogs. They are great with kids, too. But they can get very big, to the point where they even surprise their owners with just how big they can grow (the current world record holder, Freddy, stands more than 7 feet tall!).
9. Schnoodle
Not only is the Schnoodle quite likely to win “dog breed with the coolest name” but it is also one of the coolest looking dog breeds!
The Schnoodle’s name is a mix between its parents: a Poodle and a Schnauzer. Because of big size differences in parent dogs, Schnoodle puppies can grow up to be anywhere from six pounds to more than 75 pounds!
You can never know exactly what you might get with a crossbred dog. But, the Schnoodle has managed to endear itself to owners across continents, making this pretty much as close to a “sure thing” as you are likely to find with a crossbred pup! Schnoodle owners generally describe their pups as happy-go-lucky, friendly, very eager to please, smart and trainable, and – best of all for some – low-shedding dogs!
8.
Whippet
The Whippet is like the race car driver (or perhaps the race car itself) of the canine world.
These dogs are very, very fast! They not only love to run, but they were literally bred for it. Whippets are related to the Greyhound, which is easy to see when you look at them. Whippets are really cool dogs – they have a natural aristocratic elegance and grace about them, plus they have really good posture! These sight hounds are gentle and affectionate, and they love a good snuggle with family members of all ages.
7. Cockapoo
The Cockapoo is the natural outcome of crossing a Cocker Spaniel, with all of its elegant floppiness, and the Poodle, which is one of the acknowledged Einsteins of the canine world.
These dogs have actually been known and popular as far back as 1950! “Happy,” “friendly,” “outgoing,” “loving” – these are just some of the adjectives most commonly applied to this cool dog breed! One label that often doesn’t fit, however, is “hypoallergenic,” since only the Poodle is a low-to-no shedding dog breed. The Cocker Spaniel is a rather more energetic shedder!
It nearly goes without saying that the Cockapoo, the winner of Britain’s happiest dog contest, makes an excellent family pet choice!
6. Golden Retriever
Who doesn’t know the famous Golden Retriever, with its gorgeous, lush golden coat?
Not only are these the dogs that will routinely give you an extreme case of “good hair envy,” but they also regularly win titles like “friendliest,” “smartest” and “most lovable,” not to mention “cutest!” If you are seeking a low-shedding canine companion, you may also want to know these dogs have a really good shot at winning “most hairy” and “biggest shedder.”
The Golden Retriever makes an excellent working dog in every way save one – this is NOT the dog you want to pick if you need a guard dog! Golden Retrievers do need some space to move about, so if you have a tiny home, you should be prepared to spend lots of time outdoors. Otherwise, this dog breed makes a great pet all around!
5.
Blue Heeler
The Blue Heeler gets its catchy moniker from its lovely coat color, pattern, and markings.
Its less-catchy original name is the Australian Cattle Dog, and sometimes these dogs also go by the name of Queensland Heeler or Red Heeler. When a dog has this many names, you know you’ve got to be onto something good! And in fact, the Blue Heeler is also one of the few dogs that has authentic dingo (Australian wild dog) blood in its recent lineage! The Blue Heeler can also claim Dalmatian, Bull Terrier, Collie, and Kelpie in their gene pool.
The Blue Heeler is a working dog, pure and simple. These dogs got their start herding cattle, mostly by nipping at (but not chomping on) the heels of slower cows to get them to move along.
4. Weimaraner
In Germany, where the Weimaraner got its start – and that cool name – these dogs are nicknamed the “Grey Ghost.”
The Weimaraner is named after the place in Germany where the dog breed arose – Weimar, which is both a city and an unofficial German Republic. The name is pronounced “Why (or Vy) – mer – rah – ner.”
Weimaraners are the type of dog other dog breeds might be jealous of (if dogs were inclined to be jealous of one another, which, thank goodness, they aren’t!). This is because the Weimaraner is good at pretty much everything in the hunting arena! They can point, retrieve, chase, flush, and hunt without breaking a sweat.
It doesn’t hurt that these dogs make for super photogenic models, too! While the short-hair Weimaraner is more frequently seen, the long-hair Weimaraner is equally eye-catching, although it definitely needs more coat care to stay that way.
3. Yorkshire Terrier
The Yorkshire Terrier, or “Yorkie” as enthusiasts have dubbed it, is the coolest of cool small dog breeds.
It probably won’t surprise you to learn that the Yorkshire Terrier hails from Yorkshire, a county in the UK. However, from there, this pint-sized dog’s popularity has created an ongoing debate about exactly who can take credit for this super-popular dog breed! The name “terrier” basically translates to mean “of the earth,” which is precisely where this smart, focused and fierce little hunter heads when he sees prey. Rats, mice, foxes, badgers – none intimidate a Yorkie on the job!
Yorkies can grow the kind of long, luxurious fur coat that can make their owners turn green with envy. However, this coat in turn generates a need for continuous care, including brushing, combing and grooming.
2. Labradoodle
The Labradoodle is the Labrador + Poodle mashup that turned the purebred canine world totally upside down.
The very first Labradoodle was created with a specific intention. Wally Conron was a manager for Australia’s Royal Guide Dog Association when he was approached by a sight-impaired woman looking for a seeing eye dog. There was just one problem: this woman’s husband was wildly allergic to pet dander! Conron took on the challenge, with the Labradoodle being the successful result.
While there is never any way to know for sure exactly which traits will translate from either parent dog to a given puppy, in general the Labradoodle has a sufficiently stable temperament, along with its near-hypoallergenic coat.
1. The Labrador – The Coolest Dog Breed of All!
What makes the Labrador one of the coolest dogs to get?
For starters, 27 straight years of coming in at Number One as the American Kennel Club’s favorite dog has to count for something! Plus, there is the Lab’s robust hold on the number one spot in the UK as well! And then there is this dog’s stunning personality. After all, this is the dog breed voted “Most Likely to Become Mayor” (he reportedly ran as a “re-pup-lican” and beat out two human wannabes as a write-in candidate).
Labradors make great retrievers (for obvious reasons) and are fabulous guide dogs, service and therapy dogs, and working dogs. They can detect human cancer with their super-sensitive sniffer, but no one would ask them to guard anyone or anything – the Lab is way too friendly! Labs make awesome family dogs. They are good with children and can be taught to be good with other family pets. But, we will admit that we might be a little biased. After all, this is The Labrador Site!
Coolest Dog Breeds
What makes your dog the coolest dog in the world? Your bond, of course! The coolest dog ever is the one who is looking right at you with those soulful eyes, trusting you implicitly, loving you unconditionally, wanting to be with you no matter what (and especially at dinner time)! It will be the dog that makes every day a little – or a lot – brighter, the one you see first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and can’t imagine your life without.

Popular dog breeds: TOP 10 – PurinaOne.ru
24 August 2019
Fashion for dogs is a fickle phenomenon. A certain breed can become popular under the influence of a movie, a book, or even a cartoon (as in the case of Dalmatians). Sometimes famous politicians or actors unwittingly advertise their pets.
But some animals have been consistently included in the top known dog breeds for many years, thanks to their working qualities, intelligence and devotion to humans.

Conclusion
Top 10 most popular dog breeds in Russia
Over the past 15–20 years, the list of fashionable dog breeds in Russia has changed significantly. In the early 2000s, Staffordshire Terriers, Pit Bulls, Boxers, and other representatives of fighting dog breeds occupied the top lines of the ratings.
Now the most popular dog breeds in our country are decorative pets (Pomeranian, Yorkie and Chihuahua). This is due to the fact that more and more often four-legged friends are made by residents of large cities, who find it more convenient to keep a small dog.
1. German Spitz. Spitz have an energetic and good-natured character, they love their owners and get along with other pets. They are quite active and need daily walking, although they can also defecate in a tray.
2. Yorkshire Terrier. Yorkies’ cheerful disposition makes them excellent companions for adults and children. These kind and smart dogs love communication and games, they do not tolerate loneliness. Trendy haircuts are a must for Yorkies, so a visit to the groomer will have to be added to the must-do list.
3. Chihuahua. These miniature dogs are very owner oriented, affectionate and sensitive. In the heart of the owner, they want to take first place and can be jealous of new family members and pets.
4. German Shepherd. German Shepherds are among the most famous dog breeds. They top the ratings of the most daring, loyal, smart pets. The Germans can be both excellent companions and valuable employees, but in any case, it is important to provide them with enough movement, new experiences and interesting tasks.
5. Labrador Retriever. Endless devotion to the family is the main feature of Labrador Retrievers. These dogs treat children, the elderly and the sick with endless patience and love. Labradors are very smart and love to please the owner, and therefore they are happy to learn and execute new commands.
6. Husky. After the release of Game of Thrones, the popularity of the Direwolf Husky skyrocketed. But it is important to remember: naturally active and active, these pets do not tolerate being kept in an apartment. They love movement, new experiences and want to spend all their time outdoors.
7. Jack Russell Terrier. Jack Russells are a breed of dog that is not suitable for quiet couch potatoes. Most of all, they like to spend time outdoors, run and play, so be prepared for frequent and active walks. Jack Russell Terriers get along well with children and are always ready to play with a ball or Frisbee, but they are often not at all happy with cats or rodents.
8. Central Asian Shepherd Dog. Strong, hardy, undemanding Alabai are one of the best guard dogs. They have a developed sense of family and territory, they immediately determine the possible danger and are always ready to defend their home.
9. Caucasian Shepherd. Caucasians are another breed that can be safely entrusted with the protection of property. Caucasian wolfhounds are smart, have excellent intuition. With such a dog, you feel safe: it will always stand up for the owner and will do an excellent job of guarding the house.
10. Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Corgis have had an impressive career in the past hundred years, with herding dogs becoming elite companions. But even being the favorite breed of the Queen of England and living in Buckingham Palace, Pembrokes retain the wonderful character of real sheep dogs. These are smart, courageous, active animals that are easy to train and follow the commands of the owner with pleasure.
Top 10 most popular dog breeds in the world
For 30 years in a row, the most fashionable dog breeds in the world have been retrievers (labradors and goldens). Among small pets, the French Bulldog is especially popular. Also in many countries, the German Shepherd is consistently among the top five most common breeds.
1. Golden Retriever. Golden Retrievers are considered to be one of the best companion dogs. They are very attached to people, caring towards children, smart and absolutely not aggressive. Thanks to these qualities, retrievers make good therapy dogs and often participate in rescue operations.
2. French bulldog. Among small dog breeds, bulldogs stand out for their balanced and calm character, as well as good training abilities. They are friendly towards people, but do not always get along with other pets.
3. Cocker Spaniel. Like other spaniels, Cockers are true hunting dogs with an excellent sense of smell. They are active, playful and naturally friendly. Pets are very attached to the owner and subtly feel the nuances of his mood.
4. English Bulldog. This dog breed is not very common in Russia, but is widely known in Europe and the USA. Bulldogs are rather slow, have a calm but stubborn character. They are very attached to the owners, and also treat children of any age with love and understanding. The English Bulldog is the choice of those who need a companion dog.
5. Beagle. Cheerful and active, the Beagle is an ideal breed for a family with active children. Both puppies and adult dogs love long walks, ball games and Frisbees. Friendly to other pets.
6. Poodle. In recent decades, poodles have not been very popular in our country, but they are very much appreciated abroad. These dogs are happy to learn and perfectly learn the most complex commands. Poodles work not only in the circus, but also at customs, participate in rescue operations and hunting.
7. Rottweiler. Despite their complex nature, Rottweilers are among the most famous dog breeds. These animals are reliable protectors and guards, devoted to one owner.
8. Boxer. Boxers are friendly and active, enjoy talking with children, love games and long walks. This strong and stern at first glance dog is actually obedient and caring.
9. Pug. Pugs are the largest of the small dog breeds, and their character can be called the “golden mean”. Pets are moderately mobile, quite calm and reasonable.
10. Kurzhaar. Not every pointing dog can be kept in an apartment, but the kurtshaar is just one of them. It is owner-oriented, pet-friendly, and a great companion for walks and outdoor sports.
Conclusion
Many people “fall in love” with a certain breed after seeing an adorable photo or a cute video. But it is important to remember that different dogs also have their own characteristics of character and content. Therefore, before making an important decision, read the detailed description of a particular breed, evaluate your strengths and capabilities. Let the choice of the best friend be balanced!
The most beautiful dog breeds: TOP-10
If you ask the opinions of dog breeders, then in most cases, the most beautiful dog is their pet, and this judgment is correct, because friends are valued not for their external data, head position or long legs. A friend is a faithful, devoted comrade who will support in grief, turn his chest under the bullets in case of danger and sincerely share the joy. And dogs fit this description perfectly, not without reason they are called “man’s best” friends.
Representatives of some breeds are indeed the owners of a more attractive appearance. Of course, the canons of beauty are changing, and if yesterday the most beautiful dog was considered a huge, stately Great Dane, today, more often smaller individuals of the canine world fall into this category. But, in any case, completely different representatives can fall into the category of “the most beautiful dog breeds”.
Contents
1. Pomeranian
2. Rough Collies
3. Husky
4. Afghan greyhound
5. Golden Retriever
6. Leonberger
7. Bernsky Zennenhund
8. German shepherd
9. Doberman
10. Maltese Blinka
Plazransky spice
This decorative dog looks like a very nice toy that you want to take in your arms and not let go. He does not have a special stature, or a proud posture, but he is handsome in his own way. Most often, dogs of this breed, originally from German Pomerania, have a compact size and are ideal as indoor pets.
This is a great option for families with children, as the tireless Pomeranian is able to spend the day and night in games and amusements. Its funny appearance is deceptive – Pomeranians are cunning, smart and need compulsory education and training, otherwise the baby can grow up self-willed and even periodically show aggression.
But, fortunately for the owners, representatives of this breed are perfectly trained, acquiring not only basic skills, but also more complex commands. Not recommended as a pet for beginners. The Pomeranian is a small but “loud” dog that loves to bark. People living nearby may not like this neighborhood. He is somewhat selfish, but gets along well with other pets.
It can be difficult to toilet train a pet, but here it is important for the owner to be patient and not back down. In the end, the Pomeranian will obey and everything will be back to normal. High temperatures and humidity are detrimental to dogs of this breed, as they can cause heat stroke that can kill the baby. It is important to protect the pet from prolonged exposure to the heat and to know the rules of first aid if the situation does arise.
Rough Collies
Not so long ago, this beautiful, graceful dog with a luxurious fur coat and an elegant, aristocratic muzzle could be found in almost every yard. Today, the popularity of the breed has noticeably decreased, however, this has not affected the charm and charm of its representatives.
Like all sheepdogs, the “Scots” were once engaged in grazing, guarding livestock and doing other work, which made them hardy, strong and intelligent dogs. Collies are able to make decisions on their own, so the owner should become a leader for the pet, whose commands are “not discussed”.
Collie ancestors, like themselves, have lived side by side with humans for centuries, they are devoted to their family, obedient and quite accommodating. They are well trained, striking with their ingenuity and capabilities. Collies are not fully watchdogs, but they look at the strangers who come for a long time, and in case of danger they are able to show aggression.
There are several varieties of Shetland Sheepdogs – with short, coarse and long hair. All of them have excellent working qualities and character, but the most beautiful of them are still rough collies – with a rich collar and feathers, amazing colors and proportionate build. But future owners should take into account – this type of coat requires more painstaking and thorough care.

Husky
They have a peculiar appearance inherent in most native northern breeds – malamutes, huskies, Samoyed dogs, and it is difficult to distinguish which of them is more beautiful. But if we take into account popularity, then huskies are ahead of the rest. Scientists managed to find out that the ancestors of this breed are the first dogs that appeared on earth, and they existed almost 32,000 years ago!
Huskies have a really beautiful appearance, a special body and a great color. But at the same time they remain working dogs, and by no means decorative. In their homeland, in a harsh land, they performed and continue to perform important work – they carry people and goods and, unlike huskies, are not hunters.
When taking such a pet into the house, the owner must remember about the features of the husky – the pet rarely barks, but more often uses a howl to talk, moreover, it sounds like a wolf. The dog needs daily physical activity, otherwise, it can be mischievous. In addition, these northern friends are very freedom-loving, and if they are given the opportunity to escape, they will do it sooner or later.
It is better to keep huskies outdoors in an aviary, but giving them the opportunity to run around in the local area. Such a pet is not afraid of any frosts, but they tolerate the heat worse – they will need a place where they could hide from it in the summer. The advantage of the representatives of the breed is the absence of the smell of “dog”. It is recommended to start such dogs for active people who do not tend to sit in one place.
Afghan Hound
This is a beauty from the Middle East, whose ancestors lived here more than one thousand years ago. Images of such graceful dogs were found on the rocks during archaeological excavations in Egypt. The Afghan hounds have a coat of amazing beauty, it gives the dogs a majestic, aristocratic look. In addition, the dogs have an elegant, refined head, long limbs and a balanced physique.
Yes, the “Afghans” are great, but you can’t call them complaisant pets. Beginners who try to train such a dog, in most cases, fail, believing that a stupid dog, unable to learn the program, is to blame. However, experts point out another problem – the lack of the right approach.
Such a dog is loyal to its owner, knows how to win over other members of the family. But it is extremely difficult for her to find a common language with children, the dog does not like and can be frightened by sharp sounds and sudden aggressive actions. The “Afghan” is friendly to those around him, without alertness, so he does not make a watchman or a security guard.
Representatives of the breed grow up for a long time, the dog becomes truly mature only by 3-3.5 years. Therefore, earlier it is not necessary to demand a balanced, calm behavior from a pet.
Golden Retriever
Dogs not only with a golden coat, but also with a “golden” character. From such a pet, a patient nanny, an excellent companion and a wonderful friend is obtained. Retrievers have high intelligence, according to research, they are among the top five in this indicator. These dogs can adapt to the mood of the owner, feeling all the changes. The main desire of a dog is to please his beloved owner, to please him.
The breed is quite popular, because its representatives are beautiful, complaisant, smart and kind. Such a pet can be taken into the house with other animals, children. The dog will not show leadership qualities, but for the child it will become an excellent companion for joint games. One caveat – they need constant communication, they do not like to be alone.
Retrievers are not quarrelsome, but may fight with other dogs if a critical situation arises. In most cases, the advantage is on their side, as these dogs have good physical data. When purchasing a puppy of this breed, you should know that the pet will not become a watchman or a guard, as retrievers are too trusting and good-natured to others.
Leonberger
These dogs of impressive size were bred for specific purposes – the dog should become a symbol of the city of the same name – Leonberg, whose name is translated as “city of the lion”. Given such requirements, the main requirement is not surprising – the dog should resemble a lion as much as possible.
As a result of selection work, a large, powerful dog with a luxurious coat and a proportional physique has turned out. Seeing a Leonberger for the first time, a person experiences mixed feelings – fear and admiration. But upon closer acquaintance, the first sensation passes rather quickly, since representatives of this breed are not aggressive by nature.
With proper upbringing, Leonbergers make gentle, patient nannies who will protect their ward from any trouble. In addition, this is a very calm, phlegmatic pet, able to maintain composure, even when everyone around is panicking.
He is highly trainable, not prone to stubbornness and does not shy away from difficulties. The inhabitants of Leonberg are justly proud of this animal, and an exhibition of dogs of this breed is held here every year.
Bernese Mountain Dog
Representatives of this breed have long acted as herding dogs, they are perfectly adapted to harsh climatic conditions and have an independent character. And even earlier, their ancestors – Great Dane Molossians, participated in battles – dressed in armor, they bravely fought side by side with the soldiers.
Their descendants are more peaceful, but they have taken all the important qualities from their ancestors. There will be no difficulties in training the Sennenhund if you approach the process “wisely”. It is important to remember that a pet can get bored with a monotonous program or take offense at an unfair punishment. And by establishing contact with a pet, the owner can hope for excellent results.
The main decoration of the dog is the coat – medium length, thick, with a bright, memorable color – tricolor. Due to the coat color of the Bernese Mountain Dog, it is difficult to confuse with dogs of other breeds.
In addition, the Berns look like real aristocrats, despite their large size, they are not without elegance. These dogs are strong, balanced and reasonable. They are able to make decisions even in critical situations, and their vigilance makes them excellent guards and watchmen.
Having decided to get such a pet, the future owner should think about whether he will be able to provide the dog with a “job”, since it is vitally important for the Bernese to be in demand. This is not a decorative dog for the couch and funny tricks. Another nuance is that dogs of this breed are very difficult to endure separation from the owner, and abandoned Burns often need psychological support.
German Shepherd
Representatives of this breed are included in a variety of ratings: “The best service breeds”, “The most popular dogs”, “The smartest dogs”, etc. Indeed, the “Germans” have long been at the peak of popularity and are most often used for service goals. But do not forget about their outstanding appearance.
The German Shepherd is a courageous dog that exudes strength. However, it does not cause fear or horror. Most often there are individuals with a black-and-black color – a dark muzzle and a saddle, however, the standard allows dogs with a monochromatic black coat or a zoned, so-called “wolf” color.
But, regardless of coat color, all “Germans” have a harmonious physique, expressive muzzle and an open, attentive look. It is about such a pet that many boys dream of, and when they grow up, they take a “German” puppy.
Representatives of this breed are universal – their high learning ability allows you to literally “make” a pet out of a dog with a certain set of skills. The dog will become not just a pet, but a true devoted friend, protector, guard. In case of danger, he will not hesitate and, without hesitation, will give his life for members of his family. Thanks to his excellent physical form, the “German”, in most cases, comes out the winner from the fight.
Perfectly coping with various work – at customs, border, police stations, as bodyguards and guide dogs, representatives of this breed also make excellent companions and family dogs. The pet gets along well with all households and other animals, but it is desirable that he be brought up and take a course of early socialization.
“German” is, first of all, a shepherd dog, which means that he will perceive his family as a herd. He will keep a vigilant eye on his younger members, taking care of their safety. But representatives of such breeds, who have been accustomed for centuries to live with a person, to work alongside him, have a very difficult time parting and do not like loneliness. Going on a hike or a trip, it is better to take your pet with you – he will not cause trouble and he will get a lot of pleasure.
Doberman
A stately, slender, handsome dog with a serious appearance – Doberman, a dog that never goes unnoticed and admires others. His attentive gaze is watching what is happening, and it seems that he is about to intervene in the situation. However, a well-mannered dog of this breed has endurance and will not show aggression without a serious reason.
Dobermans are service dogs that are excellent at following the trail, and their keen sense of smell helps to detect chemicals and toxic substances. In addition, representatives of this breed are excellent guards and watchmen. By purchasing a Doberman puppy, a person receives not only a working dog, but also a devoted friend, with high intelligence and a desire to learn.
Mysteries and conjectures still hover around the breed, reinforced by the fact that the breeding work on it has not been documented. The breed was developed by a man who was far from dog breeding – Friedrich Louis Doberman, who needed a four-legged partner.
He collected taxes and other deductions, and the inhabitants at all times were not eager to give “their hard-earned money” to the treasury. And if you carry out this activity in a company with a “serious” dog, then there will be much less objections.
Having organized the process, Doberman took up a difficult activity, and among professionals his undertaking seemed amateurish. However, the result exceeded all expectations – the breed, which later received the name in honor of its author, met all the requirements. The dogs turned out to be large, formidable and angry, they immediately received the nickname “spies” among the townspeople.
Initially, its representatives were quite aggressive, but subsequent work with the breed smoothed this quality somewhat. However, the modern Doberman also requires early socialization, training and a strong hand.
Maltese
Among the lapdogs, this variety is distinguished by a long, snow-white coat, the dogs have a pretty muzzle with beady eyes. The Maltese puppies are charming and resemble a soft toy, but what should future owners know about when acquiring such a handsome man?
The long coat of dogs is an exclusively decorative element, it does not protect the pet from the cold. In addition, a dog of this breed is not recommended to be brought into a family with small children, since a miniature pet is not suitable for active games with screams and possible physical impacts.
Bolonkas perfectly understand the commands, but they don’t particularly strive to follow them, showing stubbornness. For fruitful work, they need a certain attitude. In order to change this behavior, the owner will need to come to grips with raising the dog, showing who is the boss in the house.
The Maltese gets along well with other pets, including cats. However, the dog may seek dominance and show jealousy. She will choose one master for herself and will be immensely devoted to him, but she will also be attached to the household. This baby does not like to be alone, she is bored and upset.
Thoroughbred Maltese can be attributed to centenarians, representatives of the breed quite often live to the advanced 18 years. This is how long this small, fluffy four-legged friend can be around, of course, with appropriate care. But the owners should not forget that, in addition to the basic procedures, their silky, luxurious coat deserves special attention. It should be combed regularly, and the pet itself should be bathed and dried constantly.
Statistics show that there are over 400,000 breeds, and although some of them inevitably disappear, their total number is still increasing. People do not stop breeding, getting dogs that meet modern requirements.
Is it possible to single out 10, 20, 30 or even 100 of the most beautiful among them? After all, each animal has special qualities, charm and appearance. And the owners of one of the representatives of the breed believe that it is their dog that is more beautiful, smarter and more charming than the rest, at first glance, the same dogs.

“I am currently a student enrolled in the MSW program. I came in as a transfer student at the start of fall 2019. I am still attempting to gather my thoughts in regard to the curriculum and how classes are conducted. The classes are three hours long with no lunch break in-between. You sit in class and listen to professors lecture on the subject matter, some make it intriguing when it comes to the field of social work, while other professors make you question if social work is really for you. They also incorporate discussions into their lectures but as an adult, these so called discussions are surface level and uninteresting. There has been much confusion in regard to the program schedule that was changed in order to accommodate the students and faulty in order to receive a lunch break during the day. To my surprise, that meant that you would be attending classes from 8:30am to 8:40pm during the weekday. Students and faculty were not happy about this change and started petitions and even threats of lawsuits due to the schedule change from parents of the students. The director of the program, Dean Sarah Gehlert, decided to hold off of the change of schedule but was not happy about it. Dr. Gehlert stated the UofSC is not a commuter school and will never be. Mind you, most of the MSW students travel to Columbia in order to attend classes during the weekday. I am confused as to why the classes are set up the way they are and if you are a full-time student, why can’t one attend classes on Saturdays and even UofSC campuses that are located across the tri-county area. While this is my first semester in this program, it honestly reminds me of undergrad with so many group projects and surface level class discussions. Thinking I made a mistake transferring into this program. Soo many issues from the start and I feel really unhappy here.”

They also have a wide array of majors to choose from and a ton of extra curricular activities that you can be involved in. They encourage friendships and diversity throughout the campus.

The professors in the Theatre department are top notch because they care, they listen, they challenge you as a student and they have a breadth of knowledge and experience to share with you. In my common core classes, even though class sizes were quite large, I never just felt like a number, but rather I felt respected and valued in the classroom. I received my undergraduate degree there as well as a post-graduate Certificate degree at USC. In both programs, I was excited by my faculty and challenged by the coursework. The campus itself is beautiful and expansive. I remember sitting on the lawn in between classes and loved looking up at the large oak trees and enjoying the outdoors. The town of Columbia, where USC is located, is simply booming. So many arts and cultural programs are happening consistently at the museums, theatres and all along on main street. You never get bored at the many restaurants you get to choose from to eat at! USC is overall a wonderful college and campus. I felt safe there as well. USC is also a research-focused university and so the courses require that you investigate topics and subject matter through research methodologies and strategies. By doing engaging in research approaches, it makes you, as the student, harness your critical-thinking skills while being creative and relevant. I truly enjoyed my time at USC and remember both my undergraduate and certificate program experiences with a fondness and appreciation.”

“USC is a huge school, over 15,000 students last i checked. My major, exercise science, by itself would be enough to run a college on its own. This university hires a lot of foreign professors for their sciences. I do not know if this is true for their other subjects. The university does not particularly care that they are foreign, they only care that they are a brilliant professor. Many of them are, especially for the physics and chemistry as well as biology sciences. I would only recommend getting a meal plan for campus if you have absolutely no time or if you happen to be enrolled at Preston college. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother with it. Housing on campus is a roulette, Women’s quad is the newest and where I lived freshmen year. Expensive, but nice, smallest rooms. Then it ranges all the way to McBride, which is a all male dorm and is the oldest on campus, has the largest rooms, is the worst in terms of comfort however. Being a University in the middle of a city is very convenient because there are interesting things to do within walking distance from campus. Also the university itself will have annual beginning of the year parties and end of the year bashes. Every year at the Koger center for the Arts they have one famous guest come and give students free tickets. One year it was the comedian TJ miller, another year it was Bo Burnam.”

The faculty for International Business at the Darla Moore School of Business is unparalleled nationwide.

From the perspective of the sororities on campus, the universites sorority recruiting process does a great job to find incoming students a new home amongst women who share like-minded values. While my overall experience with the Darla Moore School of Business was a positive one, the experiences between my two majors were extremely different. The Marketing program was interesting, but not rigorous unless you choose classes not required in the curriculum. For example, there are more rigorous classes that focus on retail marketing, international marketing, or a capstone project, but none of them are required to graduate with a marketing degree. If you follow the curriculum for Marketing exactly, the classes are fairly easy to excel in as long as you attend class. On the other hand, the Economics curriculum was more difficult. The economics classes require critical thinking skill, as well as a certain comfort level with math. The marketing classes tended to be larger, being anywhere from 50 to 300 students, while the Economics classes tended to be smaller with more individualized attention.”

While classes “”can sometimes be very difficult,”” there are tutors and supplemental instructors through the university (“”for free!””) who “”will always fill in the gaps that you are missing. “” UofSC’s size “”lends itself to interdisciplinary degree programs and individual projects,”” and faculty fosters academic exploration in asking for student opinions and “[encouraging] us to argue and consider othr students’ opinions.”

This medium-sized, genteel Southern institution is “all about being a family and feeling like the University of South Carolina is your home away from home.” There is a “good mix” of people of different ethnicity, genders, and personalities, and a lot of the student body is “relatively laid-back in dress and attitude.” There is “certainly that southern charm, especially because of the large Greek population” on campus, and this is “a unified student body in relation to each other and between students and faculty and staff.” “The university welcomes everyone with open arms to make everyone feel included in the Gamecock experience,” says a student.
Campus Life
The students at the University of South Carolina are “”extraordinarily social:”” “”From tailgates to intramural sports to Greek life, there is always something to do.”” Saturday football games are such a tradition that “”traffic patterns are altered because it is such a huge deal.”” Traditions are “”highly important”” to the school, and events such as Tiger Burn and Homecoming are dotted throughout the year. Greene Street (the main street on campus) is closed off to traffic 24/7, which allows students to walk freely between classes and also allows organizations and activities such as Hip Hop Wednesdays and a farmer’s market to take place. The weather is usually beautiful, and many students can be found “”sitting on the horseshoe between classes or grabbing a bite to eat”” or availing themselves of the “”ton of outdoor recreation activities run through the university. “”
On the weekends, many upperclassmen spend time in Five Points, a “”very student-friendly bar district beside campus,”” and Columbia’s central location “”grants shorter distances to the beach as well as the mountains””; the town itself is very easy to get around on foot and “”very artsy.”” There is “”literally a club for everything,”” from “”skydiving to Latin dance to language,”” and service opportunities are also very popular. Additionally, the amenities that UofSC provides are “”phenomenal,”” and include everything from “”free athletic tickets to twelve free counseling sessions a year.”” UofSC really cares about the well-being and safety of its students, and “”offers so many things to help the students here to succeed.””

Lennar – Our construction manager, Eric, was the best!
Our construction manager, Eric, was the best! He was always available to answer questions. He was very professional and on point with his work. He always handled everything with a smile and his tone never changed for the worse. He is an excellent CM and because of him, I would buy a Lennar home again! He delivers what he promises and on time! He even went the extra mile on closing and after closing to ensure we were set with our purchase. Hire Eric again for your next project!!!

All Around Great Experience!
From start to finish, this was a fantastic experience! Kevin was our Lennar realtor. He was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to all of our questions (I had a lot!). Missy was an amazing construction manager! She was patient with us and made sure the building process was smooth and kept us up to date on the progress. We’ve now been in our dream home for 7 weeks, and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you to the entire Lennar team!

Flawless Experience
My experience with Lennar was flawless. They did an amazing job building my new home and getting me closed as fast as possible. I’ve heard from other first time homeowners that went with a different builder that they had a very stressful experience but I was stress free. My home package was an all inclusive one where I didn’t have to go through the headache of picking things out (light fixtures, cabinets, paint color, etc) but the designers did an amazing job at picking out the features, everything flows well together. The home also has a lot of smart features which is a plus. I recommend anyone to go with Lennar! …

Lennar – My experience with Lennar professional people.
My experience with Lennar professional people. Was the highlight of my moving in. Two weeks before I moved in my home. I had a walking through with the contractor David. He explained to me all the in and out of my home. From the inside to the outside. While walking through my home he had pointed out such things like the electric and water and what to notice about my home. If anything went wrong who to call. I had another walk through on the day before closing. I was introduced with another David this David gave me point on how to take care of my floors and where the emergency number if I ever needed help when the light went out or something going on with my gas range and tips on how to properly take care of my floors. Giving me tips on what to use and what not to use in order to get a better wearing out of them. He also pointed out name and numbers to call and where there numbers were location in my home if I ever needed them. They had made my day and move successfully. I appreciate the tag teams it has shown to be a benefactors to me. Thanks …

South Carolina. Description of the city
General information
Description of the city
South Carolina, together with North Carolina, forms the area historically known as “The Carolinas”. Both were originally part of a single British colony called Carolina, before being divided into two separate states. Although having a smaller population than North Carolina, South Carolina boasts a rich historical heritage. This is especially evident in Charleston, which was an important port during the colonial and post-colonial eras of the United States, as well as the site of the beginning of the Civil War.
While the famous “southern accent” here is proof of locality, if you listen, you can hear many regional variations in it, from the drawl that came from the coastal districts to the more chopped speech of the upstate.
South Carolina can get quite hot and humid during the summer, making its coastal areas a popular tourist attraction. Winters on the coast are quite warm, although there is snow in the northern part of the state.
South Carolina is an integral part of the American Bible Belt, and religious fervor is far more visible than in other areas such as California. In addition, South Carolina is a historically conservative state. For example, alcohol can only be purchased at state-owned ABC stores, which are closed on Sundays. People here are usually kind and open.
Due to South Carolina’s popularity as a tourist and retirement destination, there are large numbers of people who are seasonal residents or visitors from other parts of the country (especially the Northeast) and Canada. This situation is more common in coastal areas such as Myrtle Beach.

Features
Conway Methodist Church, Sanctuaries 1898 and 1910
Luxurious colonial architecture and miles of beaches are what millions of tourists come to South Carolina from all over the world.
Climate
Santee River
It almost never snows in South Carolina. The minimum temperature of the winter months rarely falls below two degrees. In summer, the air temperature varies from 19-23°C inland to 21-23°C on the coast. In winter, the thermometer drops to -2 ° C, while snowfall, as a rule, is not observed; precipitation falls in the form of hail. Hurricanes that originate in the Atlantic Ocean often pass through the state.
Transport
Dillon airport
South Carolina is served by several airports. Charleston International is the largest air harbor in the state and offers flights throughout the East Coast. Myrtle Beach and Greenville also have airports. Smaller regional airports are at Hilton Head and Florence. These airports primarily serve regional centers. Amtrack has many routes that run through South Carolina. The “Silver Service” and “Palmetto” trains, in addition to small towns along the route from New York to Florida, go to Florence, Columbia and Charleston. The Crescent train passes Spartanburg, Greenville, and Clemson on its way from New York to New Orleans. South Carolina is served by five Interstate
Reasons to visit
Anyone who has arrived in Colombia has the opportunity to visit one of the few patches of relic forest on the East Coast of the United States. The park is located at a distance of thirty kilometers from the city, and you can get there by car within an hour. The terrain in Kongari is swampy, so wooden platforms are laid throughout the park, connected in a simple system for ease of movement. There are many rivers throughout the area of the relict forest, so tourists can rent a boat, kayak or Indian canoe.
If you want to see a piece of America that existed here before the period of total industrialization, then you should definitely visit Charleston. The city became the first English settlement in this area, which is reflected in its architectural appearance. In the historical part of the city, many buildings of the colonial era have been preserved, and several estates of former planters have been turned into museums. By the way, the oldest museum in the United States operates in Charleston.
Grand Strand is a coastal strip with excellent beaches, most of which is in the state of South Carolina. More than 14 million people visit these beaches every year.

3 Pedilanthus finkii (Pedilanthus finkii) 
Juice will begin to stand out abundantly at the cut site. To stop it, the cuttings are placed in warm water. 
It is characterized by compact size and densely covered with leaves. If the tropical forests become a little more arid, then they can be found in the spurred pedilanthus, but not in the form of a shrub, but a small tree. Large-fruited pedilanthus grows in the driest and hottest regions of America. In appearance, it is more and more like a succulent, almost leafless, but with a well-developed system of water-storing tissues. In the humid tropics, Fink’s pedilanthus can be found. 
The flower is miniature in shape and resembles a bird or a neat slipper. The color of the leaves is also interesting: a green middle, white edges and blotches in the center. Some species of pedilanthus are characterized by the transition of its tips to pink or red. The stems of pedilantus tithymaloidus are zigzag due to the fact that with the growth of each new leaf, the direction of their growth changes. Pedilanthus blooms in late autumn. The inflorescences are covered with red leaves, located at the top of the stem. 
Not so long ago, this genus was combined with another member of the same family – hypocyrta, so the same plants can be found under both names. 
1 Growing from seeds 
Its reaction may be slightly acidic or neutral. 
At 7 degrees or less, it will drop foliage. They do not like plants and intense heat – at 27 degrees and above, their foliage may begin to dry out. Such conditions should be compensated by increased humidity. At the same time, daily fluctuations in day and night temperatures by 5 or even 10 degrees will only contribute to the development of the bush. 
It is especially important to follow this rule if the nematanthus is kept cool. 
For this, as for irrigation, only soft water is used. When the nematantus hibernates in a cool place, it should not be sprayed, but if the air in the room becomes excessively dry, other methods of increasing humidity should be used. So a pot with a nematanthus can be put on a pallet filled with wet pebbles. 
Excessive amounts of nutrients can lead to fading of the color of the leaves and flowers of the plant. 
In this case, they are cut again in the spring, trying to shorten too long branches. 
Soleyroliya 
Soon after the transplant, they start to grow and develop into full-fledged bushes. 
Strong drying of the soil should not be allowed. 
Small oval foliage is painted dark green and covered with a wax coating. Flowers reach 2.5 cm in length. Their coloration includes tones of red, yellow and orange, turning into each other. Flowering is profuse and long lasting. 
Their tail is longer than that of other hamsters, the muzzle and body are narrower and more elongated. There is a dark stripe on the back, the color is sandy-brown, white-gray or spotted.
Physical activity is necessary to strengthen the immune system and prevent the development of obesity. For rodents of large breeds, a wheel with a diameter of 18 cm is suitable, for small ones – 14-16 cm.
Specialized feeds include a set of ingredients necessary for a balanced diet. Healthy treats complete the diet. And they are so much fun to chew on!

Borya. He lives near the bazaar with his father and mother, on Sundays, when there are a lot of people in the bazaar, he opens the window and barks at people, does not bark evilly – it’s fun. He is generally kind. 
And one more thing: the fools, as far as I have seen them, are almost always kind people, and it is a pity for them, and inevitably they are drawn to philosophize. In order not to philosophize at the end – this is always bad – I will now say with what approximately thoughts I ended my observations of Borea (I feel like saying it anyway). I thought: “Is life a comedy or a tragedy?” Somewhat beautifully written, but the thought in a serious way rested here; a comedy or a quiet, eerie tragedy in which all of us, from Napoleon to Bory, are clumsy, stupid actors, especially Napoleon with crossed arms and a cocked hat. In vain, after all, they exclaimed: “You must not feel sorry for a person! ..” This, too, is from an awkward, very proud posture. Respect – yes. Only after all, respect is a thing that comes with culture. Pity is higher than us, wiser than our libraries… Mother is the most respected thing in life, the most dear – everything consists of pity. She loves her child, respects, is jealous, wants the best for him – a lot of things, but invariably, all her life – she regrets.
Here Nature has ordered for us. Take away her pity, leave her higher education, the ability to educate, respect … Leave her everything, but take away her pity, and life in three weeks will turn into a global mess. Why do the people rise all in anger when the enemy is on the threshold? Because everyone feels sorry for all mothers, children, native land. It’s a pity! You may not agree, but I also know about sacred duty, and about honor, and dignity, and so on. But still – in a huge measure – it’s a pity. 
He endures injections steadfastly, only he squints his eyes tightly and says in amazement: 
I became uncomfortable.

However, life itself is not always free from dangers and anxieties. If you feel that your child has little protection, he easily gets into trouble, someone mocks him, or you just want to protect him from danger, then this ritual will help you with this. 
This is a very important incense for the ritual. 
Now put left hand on the photo so that crystal and photo are at hand. Close your eyes, focus on your child and wish that he or she is protected and taken care of. You can also ask for help and safety on a specific topic, such as protection from someone who hurts. If you are doing the ritual for several children at once, repeat it from the second photo. 
It should not be visible to the eyes where it can be seen by family members. Keep this bag there while the protection is working. It can work for months and years. If at any point you feel like you want to do some magic for your child again, do it with a new photo and a crystal. You can take crystals and a photo from an old magic bag and take these crystals to the forest. 
Now we have a much more positive atmosphere in the house.”

There were times when grandparents discovered “Magic for 1-2-3” for themselves and told their children about it. In addition, lately I have been hearing more and more often that grandparents are raising their grandchildren themselves and consider the “Magic for 1-2-3” program to be a lifesaver.

At the end of the day don’t miss the sunset at 12:10 AM.
It was opened in 1945 as the Fort Worth Children’s Museum and moved to its current location in 1954. In 1968 the museum adopted its current name. [1] Attractions in the museum include the Noble Planetarium and the Omni Theatre, with Star’s Cafe and Shop Too! gift shop, in addition to traveling and permanent scientific and historical exhibits. 
The total maximum capacity is 3369 people. The opening of the museum after the renovation took place on Friday, November 20, 2009. 
But, despite its size, Fort Worth is a cozy and quiet city that sacredly honors its traditions and customs. Numerous cowboy ranches, old cobbled boulevards, picturesque parks, annually attract crowds of tourists from all over the world. Fort Worth delights with its unique original culture. 
Agriculture was widely developed, mainly cattle breeding. Most of the city’s population was engaged in driving cattle. 
Today, about five million tourists from all over the world come to Fort Worth annually. And this is an important factor for its further prosperity and development. 
Incredible interest is caused by horse racing without a saddle. Such an extreme show will appeal to thrill-seekers. And from a dangerous rodeo on bulls, they will be completely delighted. Interestingly, not only men, but also women take part in such competitions. They have their own show called Barrel Racing. 
Tourists have the opportunity to admire cherry blossoms, small sparkling waterfalls, ancient bridges and pavilions. There is also a small cozy tea room. Everyone can relax in its coolness and enjoy a fragrant tea drink. In addition, the Conservatory operates on the territory of the garden. Within its walls, daily displays of unique varieties of orchids and trees are held. 
In turn, in the glass walls of the building you can see the reflection of the sparkling pool. Inside the building there is a wonderful art gallery and a unique art history museum. 
There are three main things that attract me to this city: the art museums, the annual Fort Worth Cattle Show, and of course, the local cuisine. The city has three major art museums: the Fort Worth Museum of Contemporary Art, the Kimbell Art Museum, and the Emon Carter Museum of American Art. 
There are also several halls of ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Chinese art. The Kimbell Museum is one of my favorite places in Fort Worth and, believe it or not, admission to the permanent exhibition rooms is free. 
It looks like a large wooden warehouse, and inside it is decorated with stuffed hunting trophies. At the entrance you will be met by a stuffed bear in the branded T-shirt of this restaurant, a portion of beer and Christmas tree lanterns around him. This restaurant is always decorated with a bit of humor. 
I have gone to Fort Worth every December since I was born. For me, the city has three major attractions, the art museums, the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and, of course, the food. There are three major art museums in Fort Worth, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Kimbell Art Museum and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. 
In addition, there are also several galleries of ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Chinese art. The Kimbell is one of my favorite places in Fort Worth and, unbelievably, entrance into the permanent collection is free. 
Groups have two choices: the enchilada dinner or the fajita. The meal always starts off with plates of nachos made with big round corn chips loaded with cheese and jalapenos. The enchilada dinner comes with two steaming hot cheese enchiladas, two crispy beef tacos, rice, beans, and homemade tortillas. All of the food is flavorful and spicy and exactly what Tex-Mex should be. My other favorite restaurant is a family favorite, called Angelos BBQ. The restaurant looks like a big wooden warehouse and on the inside it is covered in dead stuffed game. In the entry way there is a stuffed bear with an Angelos T-Shirt, a beer, and Christmas lights draped around it. The restaurant always puts a little humor into its decor. 
I recommend a trip to Fort Worth. Make sure to bring an open mind ready to take in the culture, and an empty stomach.

But no one noticed. Because I didn’t match. They talk so much, bombard us with so many numbers that it’s impossible to keep track. They cannot keep track of themselves, and therefore there are such blatant embarrassments. We can say – ideological sabotage. 
But life doesn’t get any easier. It comes to consciousness that the model of society that has developed … there is no place for an ordinary person in it … It turns out a paradox: everything seems to be improving, but people are growing dissatisfied … There is a growing feeling that they are social outsiders, a dull, non-personalized protest appears … The depth of poverty has sharply increased. People have appeared who live in such poverty as the Soviet Union never dreamed of: property is falling into disrepair, household appliances are becoming unusable, people’s health is beginning to deteriorate – and this is an additional expense item. A vicious circle begins… People lose their usual social contacts. At first they are helped out of pity. Then they begin to annoy and irritate, they shy away from them, as if they were contagious, marginalization begins … The respondents themselves to the question “what is poverty?” often answered: “Poverty is the loss of tomorrow.” Although, it would seem, they should say that poverty is when a child has nothing to buy shoes to go to school, or when there is no way to fix a broken TV.
We have studied this environment in detail. Many focused on the psychological state: “Poverty is when your hands have already dropped”, “Poverty is when your eyes are dull and you don’t believe in anything …” According to the State Statistics Committee, there are about 30 million such people. 
But quite the opposite. 
And now, well … the old prices cannot be returned. 
But then from above it is heard: “Cancel and redo!” And the same group of people of high rank with joyful faces hit their foreheads and are amazed: “What nonsense!” And cheerfully begins to work in a different direction. But will there be any sense? After all, stupid people got down to business! … A good solution to the problem would be the introduction of independent IQ expertise for applicants for public office. How much longer can one endure leading and guiding idiots?” – finishes the letter engineer Vladimir Pavlyuk from the Krasnodar Territory. 
A young nurse with inviting forms turns into a black swan and dances with Satan between the birches. Three-meter baby plays the piano. The lawyer sits on the chimney, dangling his legs and chuckling. All this becomes possible when a director from Russia arrives in a small German city to stage Kafka. 
This is why the newborn masterpiece is valuable: there is no need for posters and screams, everything is decided in a single head, free to think and understand what is happening to the best of its own intelligence. 
The combination of black, white and gray with rare splashes of fierce red made the eye rejoice at the stylish austerity. 
And all this
The sinful human tongue is torn out, and the prophet

The sun regularly emits these rays, but we do not see them. 
Therefore, you should not get carried away especially with a tan, and in the summer it is better to wear dark glasses so that there is no retinal burn – that small screen in the eye on which the image is projected. 
We said there that temperature and heat are just a measure of the speed of molecules. And I told how heat is transferred: more energetic, that is, faster – “hot” – molecules of a heated body drum on slower – “cold” – molecules of another body, slow them down, push them apart, giving them their energy. And gradually, gradually, the velocities of molecules in hot and cold bodies become equal. Then we say: 
Which also heats up on the battery and flies up. Thus, there is a constant mixing of air in the room. Convection speeds up the process of heat transfer in large volumes. 
And a person feels warm or even hot if a reflector is directed at him. Gorgeous, my children, gorgeous! 
Sound – air. And here? Will the author finally answer us or not? 
Well, there is no separate head and tails, these are just two sides of the same money. Similarly, there is no separate magnetic and electric field. These are two sides of a single electromagnetic field. Sometimes we just see only one of its sides. But it is worth taking a step to the side … A step to the side is a movement. And the movement immediately leads to the “flickering of the sides” of the field: the moving magnetic generates the electric, the moving electric generates the magnetic. And the run of circles went. 
And at the end of November, two more festival venues are waiting for the tape – “Radonezh” in Moscow and “Date with Russia” in Vologda. 
And arguments about the form in which it is more profitable for a country to exist in the modern world are unacceptable to me. It is important for me to preserve the country, “if only my native country would live” … 
And you can overcome formal, “administrative patriotism” by giving them books, for example, by Aksakovs… Yes, even any Russian writer – Turgenev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Leskov…

And I can compare. Such beauties as in Siberia – Baikal, Lena, Angara, and Altai, and the Russian North … there is no such beauty anywhere! Thanks to documentaries, otherwise I would not have recognized my country!

I mean for theatrical art… 
We have a project where the “Where the Dogs Run” group of artists is trying, together with scientists, to teach a machine, say, playing chess, to recognize smells – so that this new understanding of reality affects its main function. That is, to humanize the robot, to include in its decision-making system some kind of “emotional” error. For scientists, this task sounds absurd: why bring down the program of a robot that is performing its task? It’s a paradox, but the artist must intuitively anticipate a new stage in the relationship between the living and the non-living. Moreover, humanity will sooner or later approach this. :origin()/pre00/5cef/th/pre/i/2015/010/0/c/we_can_take__em__mighty_and_espio_in_sonic_boom_by_havocgirl-d8dfp1w.jpg)
Her lonely robots are sad about the past, about a bygone era. Amazing performance. Premonition of the future. 
From the need to fill the void that has suddenly arisen with the pandemic. We were very actively engaged in this for two or three months, and then we got terribly tired. It became unbearably hard – because we are people. Our genetic memory screams, does not want to enter this virtuality. But the experience was very important for all of us. In particular, the project of my student Edik Zakarian was born, who made two BDT performances – “The Cherry Orchard” and “Mozart and Salieri”, performances inside the Minecraft game. Two very short performances based on summaries of the classics. 
Behind the virtual figures there was a real experience – this, of course, terribly struck. I’m not talking about the fact that a project like bdtdigital can be useful for social or documentary theater. 
It is necessary to change in a certain way the organizational forms of today’s theater, which are sharpened for yesterday. Among my interests and tasks for the near future is to try to make such a reform. 
It’s called experimental. Why? 
Their graduation fell on a pandemic, when it was impossible to meet, there were no classes, and this, of course, is a disaster. They survive as best they can. I have already spoken about Edik Zakarian, who is now at Bogomolov’s to release Hamlet before the New Year. In Moscow, Anya Makeeva at the theater of the Russian Army is about to release a performance, as far as I know. Performances by Arseniy Bekhterev and Famil Javadov were released at the BDT. In Yaroslavl, Arseniy Meshcheryakov will soon have to defend his diploma. I help as much as I can. But at the same time, I take a responsible approach to the artistic quality of their work.

What’s not to love about getting to spend a large portion of the day with your friends, laughing and running around celebrating life! As a parent, planning and hosting your child’s birthday party can feel like an epic responsibility. Which is why I come back, again and again, to the classics! Classic kids party food, classic birthday themes and classic party games for kids.
Musical Chairs
Feel free to get creative to suit your birthday party theme.
The first player to cross the finish line or first team to have all members jump is the winner.
The wheelbarrow ‘walks’ their hands across the ground while the driver follows behind, holding their legs and steering the wheelbarrow. First team across the finish line are the winners.
Divide your guests into relay teams of four players, two on each side of the play space. You can play a balloon relay in a number of different ways – our favourite requires players to place an inflated balloon between their knees and jumping across the play space. Other versions require players to choose their own way of travelling across the space with the balloon but no hands allowed! This can be fun when played in pairs – each pair has to travel across the space with a balloon squashed between heads, backs or bellies! Alternatively, you can give each player an inflated balloon, have them race to the other side of the yard and sit on a chair and pop their balloon before racing back and tagging the next person in line. The first team to get this completed from start to finish wins!
Have party goers stand in a line a few metres away. Traditionally, players are blindfolded and gently spun around three times before trying to hit the piñata with a wooden stick but nowadays players simply take turns hitting the piñata (without a blindfold) until it breaks open.

It was so much fun that even the adults insisted on having a turn! To play, tie a length of rope above head height between two trees or poles. Thread a piece of ribbon through the hole in each donut and then tie the ribbon to the rope so that the donut is hanging just above mouth level. On a start signal, each player tries to eat their donut – no hands allowed!

If you call the name of a show that has already been used, both you and the frozen player are now frozen together and must remain frozen until another player is free to rescue you!
The last player dancing is the winner.
When someone has been winked at, they pretend to die dramatically! ‘It’ has to try to deduce who the murderer is. Once they guess, the murderer becomes the next ‘It’ and the game starts over.

Teams take turns performing their songs for the other party guests. The winning team can be decided by an adult nominated as judge or you could monitor audience reaction and applause to choose the most popular performance.
On ‘Go’ the first team member must put on all of the dress up clothes (over their regular clothes) and then race to their next team member, taking off the dress up clothes once there for the next player to put on. The race continues until all team members have had a turn to dress up and run. First team with their final team member across the finish line is the winner.
Players must lean backwards, not forwards, as they pass under the pole. Once all the players are through, the pole is dropped about an inch and the players again must pass under the pole without touching it. The last player dancing is the winner.
Either read out the title of a well known song, or play the first few bars of the song. Teams talk quietly to agree the singer and write their choice on a piece of paper. When prompted, teams reveal their answers. Each correct answer scores a point for that team. The team with the most points at the end of the competition is the winner.

For younger children, red rover, hot potato, or musical chairs are fun party games. For another birthday party idea: Think about a scavenger hunt, which is tons of fun for all age levels.
Add some funny voices and you’ve got yourself quite the party game. Be sure to scroll down to view the variations you can use to put a spin on this easy birthday party game.
This game can be easily changed for older children.
This game works with a just about any group of people, you’ll just need to divide them up into teams.
Set up chairs or cushions in a circle but have one less than the number of people playing. When the music stops, anyone without a seat is eliminated and one chair is removed. Last one in the last chair wins!
For example, if you say raise your right hand, they have to raise their left hand; if you say to jump, they need to squat.
Players are on teams that meet in the corner of the room, and each group is either a giant, wizard, or elf. There are a few fun rules that everyone needs to follow to make it all work, but it can get loud since it includes some shouting. This fun game could easily be used as an icebreaker. It would be perfect for a wizard-themed birthday party.
Balloons, flags, streamers with inscriptions, funny photos of the birthday man or images with his favorite fairy-tale / cartoon characters can be used as decoration. 
The peculiarity of these entertainments is that they are held right at the table, you do not need to get up and move actively. As a rule, table games include quizzes, riddles, tasks for ingenuity, memory and thinking. 
Whoever has the last word wins. 
Participants are invited to perform an impromptu dance to them, but with one condition – you can “dance” only with facial expressions. The winner is the one who managed to portray the funniest pantomime. 
All guessed figures are eliminated, after which the game continues. 
If the presenter guesses correctly, then the caught guest takes his place. The game will be more interesting if the host asks the person who fell into his hands to complete some task that will help establish his identity (sing a song, portray an animal, for example, grunt, etc.). 
Photo puzzles
“Following the animal tracks”
The goal of the game is to quickly go along your path to your grandmother, who is waiting at the finish line. “Grandmother” you can take the real one, from the invited guests. If there is none, then any of the participants can replace it. 
While the music is playing, the children are dancing, and as soon as there is silence, everyone should take a chair. The participant who did not have enough chair is eliminated. 
Usually the word comes to the last player in a modified and ridiculous form. 
Many modern children do not know the old games, even the usual “Brook” or “Loaf” can be interesting fun for kids. But for older children, it is worth coming up with more complex contests. 
These include, first of all, the birthday of their child. However, the older the child, the more difficult it is to prepare a good holiday for him. Usually preparing for a party is troublesome, but at the same time pleasant. 
Moreover, it does not matter: whether it is necessary to think over any logical problem well or apply physical force – everything will be of great interest. They no longer like simple games, because they want to be recognized as adults and able to cope with tasks of any complexity. 
However, this opinion is erroneous. 
). This is a great option for team competition. 
Of course, you can just give the child a suitable gift, call his friends and seat him at the set table. But in this case, the birthday will be boring! 
If you notice that the children are tired or the interest in competitions has decreased, invite the children to play together and give them freedom. Then you can start implementing the holiday scenario again. 
Decorate the room. 
Confectionery products can also be ordered by professionals. Don’t waste your money on a birthday cake! It should be luxurious – tasty and healthy. Don’t forget about the beautiful tradition of blowing out the candles. This moment is waiting for any child, regardless of age. 
They can also be handed out with fiction – to the music, in the form of a quest – at the prompts (sign the gifts in advance). Just buy each of the guests the same presents, for example, curly gingerbread. Or pick up the same gifts – for all the girls a small doll, for the boys – a typewriter. 
Your task is to create a free, friendly, fun atmosphere. 
Those who do not have time are out of the game. 
He tries to quietly step on the player’s foot. To whom they stepped, that new driver. 
Turtles 
The birthday boy gives each player in turn one of his toys. 
Flavored tea bags with currant, strawberry, raspberry, lemon, mint, jasmine, etc. are suitable for the contest. Each team is given a sheet with the name of the animals. You need to write on it as soon as possible how the beast defends itself: a cat with claws, a dog with teeth, a bull with horns, a horse with hooves, a hedgehog with needles. 
You just have to follow the tracks. The players completely transfer the weight to one foot, the adult rearranges the track further. 
children play this game with delight. 
If there are guys of different age groups at the name day, find a fun and interesting activity for both older and younger ones. Nobody should be bored! 
In this article, you will find proven children’s birthday games and contests that will make your holiday bright and unforgettable. 
). 
We turn on pleasant music, we combine the children in twos, taking into account their height, we place them facing each other, you need to join your hands and raise them up to make an arch (tunnel). The birthday boy passes through this arch to the deafening and simultaneous “Happy birthday! HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH!”. 
You will be the cat and the children will be the mice. You need to make a house for the mouse (a hoop or a small rug, you can make a circle out of a rope). We turn on fun music (or you can do without it, it will still be very fun). At first, the cat sleeps, you pretend, you can even snore, the children at this time run around at ease, play where they want. And then the cat wakes up and goes hunting, the children at this time must have time to hide in the house so that the cat does not catch them. You can give everyone the opportunity to hide, or you can catch someone for real (for children over 4 years old), then they become a cat. This game is very fun if you use an ordinary umbrella as a prop, and the children will act as butterflies that frolic in the clearing. But now the presenter reports that it’s raining and opens the umbrella, the children should rather hide under the umbrella (suitable for small companies) 
It is necessary to overcome 4-5 meters (as much as space allows), transferring body weight on one leg, while the second team member (preferably an adult) rearranges the cardboard for the next step. 
All participants must take hold of the blanket and complete a series of tasks, but on the condition that the bottle does not fall. For example, raise the blanket from the ground to head level, walk to the right, sit down with the blanket, jump. 
Limbo All you need is a rope or ribbon, which is pulled by adults, and energetic music. One by one, all the guests pass under a rope stretched at the level of the chin of one of the adults. Then we lower it by 20 cm. Again, everyone, dancing, passes. We omit. And further. 
These cards can remind the child of a joyful event for a long time. For older children (who can already write), you can make a large congratulatory poster on whatman paper, pasting photos of the birthday man and his friends there in advance and asking the children to write wishes to the birthday man, younger guests can draw their wishes. 
While the music is playing, you need to transfer the balls to the side of the opponent. It’s not very easy, because your opponents return your balls! As soon as the music stops, the players stop the fight. We count balls. The team with the fewest balls on their side wins. Usually the game is played up to three wins. 
You, as a conductor, touch the child, and he enters (meows, quacks, growls, etc.), then the next one, increase the pace. At the end, all the children-animals sound together. 
And you walk in circles and try to “pull out” someone. Children must hold tightly so that the cat does not eat anyone. It is carried out 2-3 times. Each time, the word CAT should be uttered at an unexpected moment (but then they saw … a gopher who was looking at the moon, and behind him was a CAT!) 
These are the most fun and vivid memories of childhood, and to make them even brighter, parents need to work out a script for a children’s holiday, birthday contests. The main thing is not just to meet guests and sit at the table, but also to entertain them, giving the child and his friends the opportunity to unite even more, have fun to the fullest and remember this day as the best in life. But what contests are needed for a children’s birthday? We will offer you many options, and when choosing, be sure to consider the age of the children, and choose the most interesting games for everyone present. 9Ol000 Games
If the word means an edible object, then the ball must be caught, and if it is inedible, then push it back with your hands. In another version, the children stand in a circle, and the leader throws a ball to one of them and asks them to name a color, fruit, vegetable or flower. Children need to simultaneously catch the ball and remember the appropriate object. 
The task of the players is to be the first to catch the opponent by the tail and prevent him from doing the same. This fun competition is good to spend with fervent music. The game trains reaction and dexterity. 
At the end, the presenter unfolds both sheets and everyone looks at the resulting image with surprise. Such contests for children at the birthday of 6 years old perfectly develop their imagination. 
This game develops dexterity and coordination. 
One of the children is chosen as Princess Nesmeyana and sits on a chair in front of the rest of the children. The rest of the children should try to make the “princess” laugh, while you can’t touch her. The one who succeeds becomes the next Nesmeyana himself. 
Each pair is given a balloon. Their task is to try to keep the ball in the air as long as possible by blowing on it, but without touching it with their hands, so that it does not fly out of their circle. The pair that can hold their ball the longest wins. With the help of this game, reaction, agility, coordination, breathing apparatus are trained. 
Chairs are placed in a row, on which the first team sits, and opposite a chair is placed, near which the leader stands. The members of the second team stand behind the backs of the players sitting on the chairs. The host looks around at the seated players and winks at one of them. The player who winked should quickly move to a chair near the leader, and the task of the player standing behind him is to grab him in time to prevent escape. If the escape is successful, then this player himself becomes the leader. 
Cool dog mixes often feature German shepherd parents because they have many desirable traits.
While her mounds of shaggy fur is a lot to manage, it’s worth it to have such an intelligent and kind doggo.
Oh, and be prepared for a monstrous blowing coat season!.jpg)
And while these hairless cool dogs don’t shed (even the slightly-more-haired varieties of the breed), they need sunscreen!
This French herding dog is highly intelligent and skilled in law enforcement and search and rescue—and he forms close bonds with his adult buddies. Experienced and active dog owners eager to participate in competitive dog activities and continued training should check him out!
Either way, you might be surprised you never heard of them until now.
Sociable and smart, the Coton often behaves like a little, furry clown. Their bouncy antics, and tireless energy are endearing, but owners must be careful not to fall completely under their Coton’s spell—this fun-loving breed will take advantage of a lenient master.
Don’t let this dog’s low-maintenance look fool you. This canine boasts a proud French pedigree. Traditionally a sheepdog, the Berger Picard (pronounced Bare zhay Peecar) almost disappeared after World War II. Fortunately, breed fanciers are re-establishing its presence not only in France, but worldwide. Quiet, loyal, and athletic, the Berger craves attention and often displays comical behaviour.
With many Leonbergers weighing over 120-lbs., they naturally believe that they’re the boss.
For that reason, the Kelpie isn’t a breed for a first-time dog parent or a family with young children. If the Kelpie is right for you, however, it’s essential that you to provide your pup with plenty of stimulating mental and physical exercise daily, notes the American Kennel Club (AKC). That could even include surfing! A Kelpie named Abbie Girl won the World Dog Surfing Championship in Pacifica, California, two years in a row!
“They are calm and devoted to their families, but they need an experienced owner.”
You might mistake a Rhodesian Ridgeback for one, as both have the trademark ridge of hair on their back that grows in the opposite direction of their coat. These days, Thai Ridgebacks are loyal companions, and while they also exhibited loyalty way back when, they did so in a slightly different way: It was their job was to keep cobras away from their humans, and they would kill a cobra, if necessary. “While Thai Ridgebacks can be loyal family pets, they are independent and protective and are not the best choice for the first-time dog owner,” says Burch.
Once they have the prey isolated, they alert their human by baying. According to the AKC, the old saying “You’re barking up the wrong tree” comes from this type of hunting. For non-hunting humans, TTBs love agility training, going out for walks several times a day, playing games inside (like hide-and-seek), and chasing balls.
Regularly check the ears of your dog to avoid a buildup of wax and debris, which can result in infection.
Rough or smooth, both types have bright eyes and a perpetual smile. The breed is a great candidate for agility, rally, obedience, dock diving, freestyle work, and almost any fun dog sport. Devoted to their pet parent, the Pyrenean has an intuitive sense about their owner’s desires and does particularly well with clicker training and positive, reward-based methods.
Chasing rabbits is in their genes, so they’re wired to run and play until they drop. Maybe it’s all that exercise that keeps them healthy because they usually live well into their teens. You won’t have to make many visits to the vet with this breed, as it’s known to have few genetic problems.
Their delicate, hairless bodies don’t bode well outside, so they prefer the indoors. When they do go out for walks, sunscreen is a must for their coat. One big word of warning: PIOs are sighthounds and may see small pets as prey. As a primitive breed, their temperaments can vary from docile to more feral, so they’re not ideal for families with young children.
Should you be lucky enough to find a breeder of DDTs, you will almost certainly find your best friend in this breed.”
“Easily confused with a Saluki, the Azawakh (pronounced AH-ZA-WAH) is unique in its own right,” says O’Neill. “Many people find them distant or aloof, but those who own the breed know how loyal and sweet they can be.” This sighthound from Africa used to chase gazelles across the searing sands of the Sahara, but these days the Azawakh favors sidewalks over sand and fancies running with its human. While the Azawakh has been gracefully walking the Earth for thousands of years, it was only recently recognized as an AKC breed in the Hound Group in 2019.
Their superior sense of smell and hearing can identify non-family members from a considerable distance. “Canaan Dogs are a sturdy breed. They need an alpha at all times, but they’re great with other animals after a good amount of training and socialization,” says O’Neill. “If you want to hike, run, or play, the Canaan Dog is a great fit, as they can easily keep up.”
Their waterproof coat and webbed feet come in handy on the trails or in the water. And they have a highly sensitive nose that allows them to follow a scent trail even underwater.
When we are young, often we assume that the “cool” things are the things other people are buying or wearing or selling on television. As we grow up, it becomes easier to realize that the whole concept of “cool” is a relative term. There’s what is cool for you, and then there’s what is cool for others! In other words, everything is cool to someone! But what makes the coolest dog breeds?

A certain breed can become popular under the influence of a movie, a book, or even a cartoon (as in the case of Dalmatians). Sometimes famous politicians or actors unwittingly advertise their pets.
This is due to the fact that more and more often four-legged friends are made by residents of large cities, who find it more convenient to keep a small dog.
They top the ratings of the most daring, loyal, smart pets. The Germans can be both excellent companions and valuable employees, but in any case, it is important to provide them with enough movement, new experiences and interesting tasks. 
Most of all, they like to spend time outdoors, run and play, so be prepared for frequent and active walks. Jack Russell Terriers get along well with children and are always ready to play with a ball or Frisbee, but they are often not at all happy with cats or rodents. 
But even being the favorite breed of the Queen of England and living in Buckingham Palace, Pembrokes retain the wonderful character of real sheep dogs. These are smart, courageous, active animals that are easy to train and follow the commands of the owner with pleasure. 
They are friendly towards people, but do not always get along with other pets. 
These dogs are happy to learn and perfectly learn the most complex commands. Poodles work not only in the circus, but also at customs, participate in rescue operations and hunting. 
But it is important to remember that different dogs also have their own characteristics of character and content. Therefore, before making an important decision, read the detailed description of a particular breed, evaluate your strengths and capabilities. Let the choice of the best friend be balanced! 
But, in any case, completely different representatives can fall into the category of “the most beautiful dog breeds”. 
Today, the popularity of the breed has noticeably decreased, however, this has not affected the charm and charm of its representatives. 
But future owners should take into account – this type of coat requires more painstaking and thorough care. 
The dog needs daily physical activity, otherwise, it can be mischievous. In addition, these northern friends are very freedom-loving, and if they are given the opportunity to escape, they will do it sooner or later. 
Retrievers have high intelligence, according to research, they are among the top five in this indicator. These dogs can adapt to the mood of the owner, feeling all the changes. The main desire of a dog is to please his beloved owner, to please him. 
Given such requirements, the main requirement is not surprising – the dog should resemble a lion as much as possible. 
And even earlier, their ancestors – Great Dane Molossians, participated in battles – dressed in armor, they bravely fought side by side with the soldiers. 
In addition, representatives of this breed are excellent guards and watchmen. By purchasing a Doberman puppy, a person receives not only a working dog, but also a devoted friend, with high intelligence and a desire to learn. 
The dogs turned out to be large, formidable and angry, they immediately received the nickname “spies” among the townspeople. 
For fruitful work, they need a certain attitude. In order to change this behavior, the owner will need to come to grips with raising the dog, showing who is the boss in the house. 
People do not stop breeding, getting dogs that meet modern requirements. 
In order for such dogs to always look beautiful and neat, you should constantly take care of the condition of their coat and cut it from time to time. 
It has long been used actually as a hunting dog that drives the beast, notifying the owner of this with a loud bark. From his hunting profession, the beagle “inherited” a keen sense of smell, a strong tracking instinct and a very, very sonorous bark. According to one version, the name of the breed itself comes from the French “begueule”, which means “scream”. 
Starting it, you can be sure of your own safety – that is why they are very often taken to families with children. 
The director of the program, Dean Sarah Gehlert, decided to hold off of the change of schedule but was not happy about it. Dr. Gehlert stated the UofSC is not a commuter school and will never be. Mind you, most of the MSW students travel to Columbia in order to attend classes during the weekday. I am confused as to why the classes are set up the way they are and if you are a full-time student, why can’t one attend classes on Saturdays and even UofSC campuses that are located across the tri-county area. While this is my first semester in this program, it honestly reminds me of undergrad with so many group projects and surface level class discussions. Thinking I made a mistake transferring into this program. Soo many issues from the start and I feel really unhappy here.”
They are culturally diverse and make everyone feel welcomed. We have the BEST student crowd, especially for game days in Williams Brice Stadium. Who doesn’t love a good college life experience?! The university provides many student success opportunities throughout your undergraduate career. They also have a wide array of majors to choose from and a ton of extra curricular activities that you can be involved in. They encourage friendships and diversity throughout the campus. The Exercise Science Program has been rated number 1 in the country for quite some time now, and I think that the ranking should speak for itself. Our faculty and staff at USC in that department are exceptional. I have learned more than I could ever imagine about this field and I am so thankful I chose USC for that reason.”
The professors in the Theatre department are top notch because they care, they listen, they challenge you as a student and they have a breadth of knowledge and experience to share with you. In my common core classes, even though class sizes were quite large, I never just felt like a number, but rather I felt respected and valued in the classroom. I received my undergraduate degree there as well as a post-graduate Certificate degree at USC. In both programs, I was excited by my faculty and challenged by the coursework. The campus itself is beautiful and expansive. I remember sitting on the lawn in between classes and loved looking up at the large oak trees and enjoying the outdoors. The town of Columbia, where USC is located, is simply booming. So many arts and cultural programs are happening consistently at the museums, theatres and all along on main street. You never get bored at the many restaurants you get to choose from to eat at! USC is overall a wonderful college and campus. I felt safe there as well.
USC is also a research-focused university and so the courses require that you investigate topics and subject matter through research methodologies and strategies. By doing engaging in research approaches, it makes you, as the student, harness your critical-thinking skills while being creative and relevant. I truly enjoyed my time at USC and remember both my undergraduate and certificate program experiences with a fondness and appreciation.”
I completed the two-year program and was hired to work for the football program for another two years. In that time I can say the program has grown by leaps and bounds. As an alumnus, I am very proud of the work the faculty and staff have done to create an amazing program.”
Otherwise I wouldn’t bother with it. Housing on campus is a roulette, Women’s quad is the newest and where I lived freshmen year. Expensive, but nice, smallest rooms. Then it ranges all the way to McBride, which is a all male dorm and is the oldest on campus, has the largest rooms, is the worst in terms of comfort however. Being a University in the middle of a city is very convenient because there are interesting things to do within walking distance from campus. Also the university itself will have annual beginning of the year parties and end of the year bashes. Every year at the Koger center for the Arts they have one famous guest come and give students free tickets. One year it was the comedian TJ miller, another year it was Bo Burnam.”
Where everyone is smiling on their way to class and having the time of their lives. This describes the University of South Carolina. The teachers care and want their students to succeed. They provide office hours as well as meetings after class for anyone who doesnt understand the material. The criminal justice program is excellent and the teachers have some type of experience within this field. The University of South Carolina is considered to be home in my book.”
College gave me so many opportunities that I wouldn’t have today if I had never gone. The friendships I forged in college are also some that I will forever cherish and maintain.”
“
It has a strong network with accounting firms of all sizes. I enjoyed my time spent there and found the education to be quite valuable.”
There is a lot to do as a student with a variety of places varying in prices. Campus is very wide spread so you’ll have to take buses from parking lots to buildings or walk. Athletics are a big part of campus life so make sure to attend a variety of events.”
The faculty for International Business at the Darla Moore School of Business is unparalleled nationwide. With 47 nationally ranked programs, you are sure to leave USC with a quality education in the field of your choosing. The University of South Carolina is a heavily Greek student body, with about 1 in every 5 students being affiliated with a Greek organization. From the perspective of the sororities on campus, the universites sorority recruiting process does a great job to find incoming students a new home amongst women who share like-minded values. While my overall experience with the Darla Moore School of Business was a positive one, the experiences between my two majors were extremely different. The Marketing program was interesting, but not rigorous unless you choose classes not required in the curriculum. For example, there are more rigorous classes that focus on retail marketing, international marketing, or a capstone project, but none of them are required to graduate with a marketing degree.
If you follow the curriculum for Marketing exactly, the classes are fairly easy to excel in as long as you attend class. On the other hand, the Economics curriculum was more difficult. The economics classes require critical thinking skill, as well as a certain comfort level with math. The marketing classes tended to be larger, being anywhere from 50 to 300 students, while the Economics classes tended to be smaller with more individualized attention.”
“” The school provides “”a wealth of opportunities for undergraduate research, study abroad, service learning, and unique organizations,”” and advisors and the Student Success Center are “”always looking to help”” students find post-graduation plans. “”The University of South Carolina is about what you make it, as the university provides opportunities for everyone to make the absolute most of their time here,”” says one student.
“” UofSC’s size “”lends itself to interdisciplinary degree programs and individual projects,”” and faculty fosters academic exploration in asking for student opinions and “[encouraging] us to argue and consider othr students’ opinions.”

He was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to all of our questions (I had a lot!). Missy was an amazing construction manager! She was patient with us and made sure the building process was smooth and kept us up to date on the progress. We’ve now been in our dream home for 7 weeks, and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you to the entire Lennar team!
My home package was an all inclusive one where I didn’t have to go through the headache of picking things out (light fixtures, cabinets, paint color, etc) but the designers did an amazing job at picking out the features, everything flows well together. The home also has a lot of smart features which is a plus. I recommend anyone to go with Lennar! … 
He also provided great post-purchase support. 100% would recommend.
From the inside to the outside. While walking through my home he had pointed out such things like the electric and water and what to notice about my home. If anything went wrong who to call. I had another walk through on the day before closing. I was introduced with another David this David gave me point on how to take care of my floors and where the emergency number if I ever needed help when the light went out or something going on with my gas range and tips on how to properly take care of my floors. Giving me tips on what to use and what not to use in order to get a better wearing out of them. He also pointed out name and numbers to call and where there numbers were location in my home if I ever needed them. They had made my day and move successfully. I appreciate the tag teams it has shown to be a benefactors to me. Thanks … 
Amazing touch with the welcome home banner and red carpet treatment at closing!

This is especially evident in Charleston, which was an important port during the colonial and post-colonial eras of the United States, as well as the site of the beginning of the Civil War. 
This situation is more common in coastal areas such as Myrtle Beach. 
Folly Beach itself is one of the most popular destinations for surfers from across the East Coast of the state. A variety of events, competitions and master classes in fishing from the pier and water sports are held here all year round. The pier is 23 feet above sea level, 24 feet wide, and extends 1,045 feet into the Atlantic Ocean.
The city was a major colonial port, an active participant in the revolution, and a leader in the production of rice and cotton. And today, thanks to the large concentration of old buildings that still stand on the streets of the city, one can appreciate the social …
